Food is libation, pastel, Johanna Bohoy

From my exhibit:
"A la Carte Art: food paintings by Johanna Bohoy

FOOD IS LIBATION
A sip– forget your fears.
A drink for the moment. 
R&R Time.
One shot of pleasure.
Two parts sublime.

Food is sharing. Picking raspberries by Bohoy.

From my exhibit "A la Carte Art: Food Paintings" by Johanna Bohoy

FOOD is sharing: 
A gift from the Earth.
Ruby red pockets of juice.
Pick one.
Eat two.
One for me-
None for you.
All's fair with kids.

 2008, pastel, 8x10 in 14x15 Ralph Lauren frame, $350.

A la Carte Art Exhibit, Johanna Bohoy


I am exhibiting my food paintings, the month of April In Manchester-by-the Sea, Ma. 

“We are what we eat,” wrote Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in 1826. 
"Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es." 
Our lives, family, friends, events, libations, and love are all intertwined with food.
