A simple Still Life of bread and cheese was the subject of this sketch in oil paint. It wasn’t meant to be more than a quick study- I ended up working for about 3 1/2 hours on it. The bread cut open is such a beautiful thing- I am passionate about good bread and pastry. I know that wheat bread is not supposed to be the best food for us, but it is a fondness that I will never tire of. Like a flower which blooms for a day, bread is good when fresh and then quickly passes.
