#watercolor #art I painted these today using my old driver license, a silicone tool for blending oil pastels, and a dip pen and India ink. Each uses a 4-color palette of Benzimidazolone Burnt Orange, Phthalo Turquoise, Sepia and Neutral Tint.

Ghost Rider. Sculptor: Albert Szukalski. Photographer: Lenny Ferreira. Painting: me.

A portrait of my friend I painted recently.

Life is funny. I've been blogging as a full-time job since 2007. And in January of this year, I began painting as a way to relieve stress. And now, I make art. And people are loving it and buying it. At the very least, it's a new side gig. It's nuts, but also awesome! #painting #art

Portrait of an American.

Y'all, I have started to draw again. I hadn't drawn anything in decades, but we took a Bob Ross painting class in December, and I enjoyed it so much I signed up for a monthly SketchBox. Between that and some other supplies I own, I've drawn these. I am so, so happy to be drawing again! #art #drawing

I'm here for progressive causes. I'm also a pastry chef, so if you need a recipe, I can help. If malted waffles with an overnight batter sound good to you, you may want to give these a try. I test multiple times to get them right. My recipes won't let you down! pastrychefonline.com/overnight-ma...

I came here to get away from all the trolls in the bad place, but here it's all "fuck Trump" all the time with everyone cheering each other on. Seems like just another echo chamber. Who is doing substantive work to actually get the D message out in a way that doesn't alienate people?

For waffle fans: I am testing recipes to make The Best. So far, yeast-raised waffles are so much better than baking powder waffles for flavor and crispy outsides. So in case you were wondering, yes, make yeast-raised waffles.

Let our new sunshiny happy boy Hobson make you smile!

I hope this song feeds your soul like it feeds mine. If your religion doesn't extend to loving and wanting the best for everyone, your religion is too small. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhOZ...

Please take a moment to admire these coffee marshmallows, y'all. Recipe coming soon. Make them to put on top of your hot chocolate custard (that I shared the other day)! xo

When I started food blogging in 2007, and for years, I hated the photography part. I started as a pastry chef and before that, I was a special ed teacher. I never wanted to be a photographer. But my pix were crappy. So I've been reshooting. I'm proud of this one. Hot chocolate custard. 😋

I have been at The Other Place since 2008. It feels nice over here. And I brought you some Hot Butterscotch to share, too!

If you'd like to make it, here's the recipe: pastrychefonline.com/hot-buttersc...
