Fave Memory

I grow up in the countriside.
We had an orange tree, and his oranges where so fresh and delicious.
In the winter we used a vintage wood stove, and allways put the orange peel to have the smell of the oil.
I remember my father peeling the oranges all at once (without breaking the skin).
And I use to make the orange smile.

Jägertee, also known as "Jagatee", is a typical Tyrolean (Austria) specialty that 19th century foresters, hunters and rangers used to drink.

Jägertee is a hot drink originally made with black tea, herbal extracts, fruit alcohol and the "Inländer" national rum.

Here is a variant recipe that is made with kirsch (cherry brandy) also popular in Alsace, France.

The illustration was drawn on paper with india ink, and digitally colorized on Adobe Photoshop.

Food Geometry.

A fun citrus pattern with a geometric theme.

My mixed media paper collage was so much fun to make, as I thought about all the wonderful geometric shapes and colours of food. I think this might just be the first of many more illustrations for TDAC, as there are so many more lovely shapes and colours to play with!

For the Food Geometry challenge! The first thing I thought of when I read about this challenge was the pleasing symmetry and beautiful variety of shapes and colors of citrus fruit. Yellow grapefruit, ruby red grapefruit, navel oranges, blood oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, kumquats and more!
