The New York Times ran an awesome piece on Mike Geno, a Philadelphia-based painter who’s current favorite subject is cheese (and bacon and other gorgeous meats, as well as Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets) Many painters have endeavored to paint a still life every day, the painting-a-day phenomenon that has remained popular for several years. Geno’s painting’s remind me of those… they’re relatively small and inexpensive and many are available for sale on his website: http://mikegeno.com/. Main difference here is that rather than painting bowls of flowers or random house objects, Geno’s main subject is cheese. They’re mouth-watering-ly awesome to smile at. I couldn’t help myself from craving them.
