Providence

oil on wood, 12x12"

Providence, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

Goat Lady Dairy, in North Carolina, call this "a happy accident". You have to love accidents then, because this cheese is absolutely wonderful. In the art world, the genius is in recognizing the accidents worthy of pursuing. This square-shaped goat cheese, therefore is a beautiful work of art in and of itself.

The aged goat milk cheese is matured for three months, aiming towards an experimental Tallegio, it has a natural hard rind, which developed with a rainbow of subtle colors that I had so much fun painting! The paste is firm but shy of hard.

Origin: USA, North Carolina
