I'm re-publishing a press release announcing the exhibition "Forage Food Will Overcome" show featuring the first five colorful watercolor food illustrations kicking off the entire "Wild Dining Illustrated" series.
This collection of fun, foraged meal illustrations steadily grew to 40 sketches. It's now hovering at potentially around the 100 mark - if I also draw and paint all the detailed recipe illustrations associated with each final dish.
Only time will tell...

WE SHALL OVERCOME EXHIBITION. Wednesday February 5, 2020, Woburn, Massachusetts.
Five food illustrations from Artist Patricia Jacques’ watercolor collection on foraging, “Wild Dining,” have been selected for a “Les Femmes Folles” online exhibition series. This collection of luminous watercolors, which represents resilience and practical self-care, was chosen in response to a LFF’s prompt, “We Shall Overcome.”
The art will be featured on the front page of “Les Femmes Folles” online journal from February 2nd to February 6 for one week and then live indefinitely on its own page.
The full exhibition can be found at Les Femmes Folles Nebraska’s page on Tumblr.

Public Announcement: This blog post was originally published during the holiday season in a Christmas jingle format. It is part of a collection of 354+ posts from my original Wordpress blog "Dreaming Into Being" library. I've now retired and migrated it to “Wander & Paint,” my new blog post at the United Wanderlust art shop. As time allows, I will be reviewing, editing, condensing, updating and releasing a number of these blog posts but not all of them.
Some posts require more precision surgery than others. I'll also probably be publishing new posts as the muse wills it and father time allows. This whole process may take a while but I think these blog post serve as great documentation of my process and reminds me of certain milestones. So, most of them will be made available again- at some point.
