I have been picking blueberries and making my own special recipe for blueberry jam for as long as I can remember.

In 2009 I expanded my blueberry jam making to include strawberry jam from locally grown strawberries and I also tried my hand at peach preserves. I started this project by studying some of the great 19th century master Cézanne’s still paintings. Using ideas from my study of Cézanne tied into my own ideas, I set up three still life arrangements with household objects, the jams and preserves and one with wild blueberries from my freezer. I often paint from photo reference but chose instead to work from life with these three paintings.
