The art of cooking

Continuing to 'embrace autumn', today I'm posting about cooking with a little mention of art. Here's a photo of my dining room table with the recipe for me to type out. My oil paintings in-progress are on the distant wall's chair rail.

Recipe, Apples, Art
We have art everywhere right now as
I'm getting ready for my show October 5th.

Beef and Carrot Ragu is kid-friendly and delicious and already in the slow cooker for tonight's dinner.

What a relief it is on the days when dinner is a no brainer.

For the Compost
I used roma tomatoes from the garden
but threw in a small heirloom because it looked
lonely in the bowl after the romas left.

BEEF AND CARROT RAGU

1 to 1 1/4 lbs boneless beef short ribs

salt and ground black pepper

10 (!) cloves of garlic

8 oz peeled fresh baby carrots, chopped

1 lb chopped roma tomatoes

6 oz can tomato paste

1/2 cup red wine

pappardelle noodles or something you have on hand

Place salted and peppered ribs in slow cooker.

Smash garlic and place on ribs.

Add tomato paste and wine, carrots and chopped tomatoes.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.

Stir, shred, mash up the carrots and tomatoes.

Serve over pasta or crusty bread or what-have-you.

ENJOY!

The house already smells good!

At a local art show

Tonight I went to an art show at the Preservation Framer and Gallery, a perfect local gallery in my home town.

An assortment of work at the Preservation Framer
including Christopher Flanagan and
Sarah Brousseau (column and right)

Rob and Matt do such a great job with their shop and their shows. What a wonderful curated collection of Non-Representational work this was!

Fred Smilde's work at the Preservation Framer

People braved biblical rains to attend, and I had fun meeting the artists and engaging in wonderful conversation about the art.

Matt Slobogan, Jason Hancock, and Fred Smilde's work at the Preservation Framer

What fun it was. During the show I met the high school art teacher for North Attleboro, Christopher Flanagan. He was showing some of his paintings and earlier photos. His former student, Sarah Brousseau, was showing her work as well. How much fun is that?

The gallery hosts shows as well as an assortment of other artists' work on their opposite wall featuring something for every taste and budget. (I sound like an ad - but it's the truth!)

Lindsey Nygaard does wonderful paintings,
including these six raven studies.

When I walked in Rob was taking down a raven painting someone had just purchased.

And this is my assortment of work. Seeing it together is makes me a bit excited.

While I was grabbing some wine, Rob pointed out that one of my pieces had sold, an added bonus to a great night.

If you're local to North Attleborough, make it a point to stop in to the downtown gallery.

An award-winning piece

My painting, Sunlit Hay, was accepted in the national juried show, For Pastels Only, sponsored by the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod. I'm honored to be a signature member of this pastel society.

When I arrived at the show I found this below my painting:

How exciting! My painting was awarded the Pastel Journal/Ampersand Art Supplies award.

Do you know what this means? A bunch of wonderful pastelbords from Ampersand. I can't wait to get painting on all of them! A year's subscription to Pastel Journal was part of the award, too. It's a favorite artist publication of mine, so it's pretty perfect.

Continuing with the good news, there is a small dot on the tag of my piece.

It sold!
It was such fun to have this recognition at this wonderful show featuring so many talented artists' work.

Early summer artwork

Whew! It's such fun to see a collection of artwork on similar subjects but in various sizes.

Been busy here working and painting and enjoying my family. It's mid-June and school is out and the weather is just lovely. Feeling in my element! Wish there were more daylight hours and that this time of year would last for always.....

Painting-wise pastels have been my medium of choice lately and The Preservation Framer, a great shop in North Attleborough, offered to showcase my work for a spell. It's great to be represented in the town where you live and also support small business in its lovely downtown. (My alter-ego, Downtown Manager with Friends of Norwood Center loves this fact!)

Matt and Rob at Preservation Framer and Gallery and I wanted to ensure the work was affordable during this tricky economic time, so perhaps now is when you should add to or begin your art collection. They sent out the nicest description of my work in their June Newsletter. (Consider subscribing!)

Message me or get in touch with the gallery for more information.

They are on Facebook updating with all their doings quite often.

I'm hoping to do some plein air painting outside of their shop and will post when on Facebook.

Your support of my work as well as your feedback and comments mean a lot.

Two entries two ribbons!

At the Foxboro Art Association Spring Show I am delighted that I won two (!) ribbons.

AUTUMN STROLL
original pastel by Kim Morin Weineck
6x6" (c) 2012

Both were Honorable Mention and in a field as strong as this show was, all I can say is: Whooo hoooo!

TWILIGHT
original oil by Kim Morin Weineck
8x8" (c) 2012

My entries to this show were small paintings, one in oil and one in pastel. Small paintings are such fun to do.

I'm not sure who took this photo of the FAA reception, but
Tim and I are having a great time before running off
to get changed for the next reception and dinner!

Later this busy night of two art openings, Tim and I went to see the Norfolk Cultural Council show. Silly me didn't take photos of the show, but I did ask a friend, Ann Gorbett (she took 2nd place oils in the FAA show!), to take a photo of us.

Tim and I all dressed up, albeit a bit stiff looking.

Tim and I were all dressed up for a night out in town to celebrate my birthday. We had such fun - and it's lovely to feel pretty every once in a while.

Two accepted paintings

Recently I decided to enter a juried show and submitted two recently completed pieces for consideration.

Many of my painting group, the Neponset Valley Artists, were entering as well. With such support, it was easy to take a shot at it and enter.

LAST LIGHT, original pastel by
Kim Morin Weineck, 9x12" (c) January 2012

The good news came on Thursday with an email coming informing me that my two entries were accepted.

Hurray!

The show is sponsored by the Norfolk Cultural Council and will be in the community room of the Norfolk Public Library from March 3-31st with an opening reception on Saturday, March 10th from 5-7pm. This is such a fantastic venue, and I can't wait to see the all the paintings that were selected.

RISING MOON, original pastel by
Kim Morin Weineck, 9x12" (c) January 2012

If you're local to the area, stop in during the month of March to see some stellar paintings!

Art festival review

Saturday was hot and humid. My booth looked good for all my anxiety about what to expect. I did learn I need a canopy should I do this next year. What a way to start my first outdoor art festival - I was melting!!

A melting me posing with my visiting girls who also are melting

My mom came early (thank you, Mom) and helped set up the booth. Interestingly enough, my mom's cousin was helping his girlfriend set up her booth right next to mine. It's such a small world, isn't it?

Pippa and my Mom. Like Pippa's wave?

Here is the display, complete with two rigged umbrellas to somewhat protect the artwork. The golf umbrella is being held in our cooler of water and ice. I dehydrated a bit for not wanting to disturb the delicate MacGuyver-like rigging of the 'umbrella stand.'

My booth. Whew! All set up.

My mother-in-law had the girls for the day and brought them by for a visit. Lucy partook of the face painting and delighted in showing off her kitty.

It really was hot. I'm not quite exaggerating about the dehydration. My mother-in-law thoughtfully had brought another cooler with water and Fresca when she visited with the girls. Everything was drank in around five minutes!

I think Pippa was melting here.

Lucy still showing me her kitty with her origami project and Pippa.

Here is the booth right before take-down. A lot of empty spaces because I had a lot of sales!

Time to pack up for the day!

What wonderful people came to this show. I enjoyed talking to everyone, met the best art collectors, and the day was a wonderful success. What relief for having the first festival behind me. Whew!

Many sales - Hurray!

And additional thanks to my mom. What a day she put in with me. We melted together and made some more happy memories. Love you!

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Recently I had some prints made of this pastel of Bird Island Lighthouse in Marion, MA I did a while back which belongs to my mother-in-law.

Click here for information on available prints!

Soon I'll be picking up the few I had framed, matted, and packaged for sale at the Marion Art Center's annual Arts in the Park festival tomorrow. The fact that the festival is tomorrow is keeping me up at night with thoughts of everything yet to do.

Having never participated in a show like this I'm not sure what to expect, so I'm taking lots of gambles. How many times can I chant, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"? Not enough, evidently. It's become my show preparation motto!

If you're in the Marion, MA area, come to the festival! It'll be a great time!!

And if you haven't entered the giveaway yet, make sure you get on that!
