Weybridge, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

Weybridge is an organic Vermont cheese aged at Cellars at Jasper Hill.

The rind of this cheese is what attracted me the most though the flavor was no less than impressive. The difficulty of course was the fact this soft cheese is runny once it's room temperature. I had to focus on the cheese first but even that started to ooze a bit as I painted it. By the time I completed this painting, it had pooled out a bit and I was left only with the task of eating it. It was a great lunch.
