raw treats and canvas-

(Spice, acrylic on linen, 2012 M.ELLIOTT)

this is the second "face" i have done on linen canvas

....did i mention i LOVE the raw look of linen.  

it is the perfect warm neutral background to complement my color palette.

and,

speaking of raw, i have been trying some new raw goodies 

in my kitchen. taking a cue from the season's spices and flavors, 

this week i made "carrot cake" truffles with organic raw
almond meal, dates, carrots, pecans, and spices....YUM!
