This is an incredibly light and delicious creamy goat's milk cheese that ripens from the soft rind inwards. It comes from the guys at Firefly Farms in Maryland. This one was creamy and early on had to pick up the pace as it was rather ripe. The cheese started seductively oozing shortly after I started - like a flirty slow-dance. The form slid into a more curvy stance as I painted. I couldn't help but blush ;)

I also loved this quick painterly pace that became another "Thiebaud" moment for me.
