From the Cheese Portraits series.

La Bonne Vie "Rouge" is a petite wheel that's a washed rind cheese with a beautiful red-orange halo against the white soft bloomy rind. This cow's milk wheel is buttery and luscious and become a little spicy as it ages. If anything, it's a beauty and a tasty one at that.

This small painting is a preview of a larger commission to come so I could indulge in focusing on this side view, really showing off the brainy rind (geotrichum) along the side of the wheel.
