For a change, I'd like to post someone else's work that I've been admiring lately. (Okay, admiring is putting it lightly; I'm a little obsessed with it).
A friend had told me to check out the Rose Bakery book, How to Boil an Egg, a little while ago because she thought I'd like the watercolour illustrations throughout it. She wasn't kidding! It's always nice to find new sources of inspiration, and this was quite the gem.
They're painted by British artist, Fiona Strickland. She mainly paints highly realistic botanical illustrations, but made the most incredible, highly rendered paintings of food for this book.
Fiona, you're a marvel.
this is terrible.... because i would eat all her artwork and not even realize a thing! incredible detail!
ReplyDeletehahaha, Gabe! I think you'd notice after the first bite...
DeleteIs that an egg in a basket? Whatever it is, it is the perfect egg/bread thing. I think I need this book. For it's appetite opening illustrations, and because I love eggs.
ReplyDeleteCeline, you'd LOVE this book. (This is the one I was looking at at Good Egg that day we walked through the market!)
DeleteIncredible, incredible..... :O
