Series: Cheese Portraits

Description: Point Reyes Dairy in Marin County, just one hour north of San Francisco, California, sent me this modest gouda-like cheese. Toma is an Italian name for farmstead cheese, one thats made on the farm where the cheese is produced. It was only the creamery's second cheese created, after having mastered their bay blue, blue cheese that is among the best produced in the country. This one was meant to be a solid, non-finicky, non-precious cheese. It's certainly tasty straight-forward cheese that I thoroughly enjoyed. I cut myself a slice to taste before I started the portrait. I decided to include the bitten slice to further demonstrate this cheese is not precocious, though it's unmistakably delicious.

Series: Cheese Portraits

Description: I absolutely love this blue cheese. Point Reyes Cheese sent me a good amount of it to paint for an American Cheese Society commission. It's easy to see why this won best in it's category and no surprise it was Best in Show, 2nd, 2014. I wanted to revisit this beautiful blue since they sent me so much of it. I decided to paint it within it's recognizable foil wrapper, which I believe is very much identifiable for this blue. I loved the reveled in painting the crazy reflective foil and decided to go BIG for this one, since it's a monumental flavor.
