The man on my painting is sitting at the counter of a classic American diner called Good Ol' Mimi's Roadhouse.

It's a casual place featuring a retro 1950s style with chrome accents, neon lights, and a relaxed 'home-away-from-home' feel.

A diner usually serves classic American comfort food—burgers, fries, breakfast-all-day and shakes—acting as a cultural icon for nostalgia, community and quick, accessible meals.

All the best, Gerard

Finally a new painting! This still life painting shows a bookshelf filled with books on cooking as seen in one of the Barnes and Noble bookstores in LA. I worked on it for well over 3 months. Getting all the book titles and letters in place sure was challenging, but I must say I'm pretty satisfied with the results! Hope you like it too!

Another still life of tomatoes, I simple couldn't resist the red color! I ate the tomatoes afterwards by the way, no need to waste such tasteful food, is there?

Besides eating tomotoes I got interviewed today by Mirjam van Houten for De Moanne. This Frisian cultural magazine will publish an article in their may issue about artists and entrepreneurship. The article sounds very promising as it gives an in dept view by different artists on this topic. Of course I let you know when the magazine hits the newstands in may. I would like to thank Mirjam for the pleasant interview and I'm looking forward reading the article in due time!

After fininshing yesterdays Paprika I really got in the mood to paint some more food. I always liked the red of tomatoes and thought that just might be a good subject for todays painting.

Painting food is relatively new to me, but painting on such a small scale and still receive such high realism, really makes me wonder why I don't do it more often. It's so much fun to do! I'm pretty quick too, I painted todays tomatoes within one hour, believe it or not!

Well, after finishing the potatoes, which was so much fun to do, I thought I should try my hand at some other food as well. You know, just to find out if I liked that as well.

I wanted to paint something with a complete different texture, but it had to have some color in it. That's how I ended up painting todays paprika. As it turned out I really liked painting the paprika as well and you just might expect some other paintings with fruits or vegetables.

Not that long ago I first painted a still life with potatoes. I had so much fun painting those little rascals that I felt I wasn't finished with them yet. I love their gold color and dirty texture, it's so much fun to paint!

Street Counter - painting of woman selling food on street counter

In Holland you got this warehouse called Hema, every city got one. They sell all kinds of stuff, but they're really famous for their sausages. Nowadays most stores have a street counter where you can buy the sausages and sandwiches without going into the warehouse. On todays painting you see a woman selling food at one of those street counters of the Hema. It's almost closing time and all the customers went home, except for one painter.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
