I got asked to contribute an illustration for the blog connected with the book "At Home On The Range" presented by Elizabeth Gilbert, originally written by her great-grandmother, Margaret Yardley Potter, in 1947.
The blog has some reminiscences of this interesting lady by her grandchildren, and they just wanted some images to go with the posts. I decided to illustrate a recipe I liked from the book, and went with "brandied peaches" because it's one of those old fashioned recipes that is simple, decadent and doesn't seem to be done much any more!
(If you interested the art used on the blog is for sale and the proceeds go to benefit ScholarMatch)
As a side note I don't often draw older ladies, and I'm not sure how successful I was here, but it was a fun challenge. I don't have that much diversity in my drawings, mostly because I know I need to improve my technical skills, but it's something I want to work on!
This is the prettiest old lady I've ever seen and as an answer:You are successful! LOVE IT!!

ReplyDeleteAt Home on the Range" is a delightful culinary journey that transcends the conventional boundaries of a cookbook. Margaret Yardley Potter's approach to the art of cooking is not merely instructional; it's a heartfelt narrative that weaves together personal anecdotes, humor, and timeless recipes. With a distinct voice that feels like a warm conversation, the author invites readers into her kitchen, encouraging them to embrace the joy and spontaneity of cooking. Beyond the recipes, the book captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the author's life and the cultural backdrop of the early 20th century. "At Home on the Range" is not just a collection of recipes; it's a celebration of the shared human experience of gathering, creating, and savoring the simple pleasures found in a well-cooked meal.
