Wild Oregon Grapes Breakfast Parfait
For this latest watercolor piece in the Wild Dining Illustrated series, I think I'll let the experts explain exactly how they came up with the Oregon Grape jams.
In this blog post, you'll find not one, but two jam recipes in the resource section. For myself, I'm having way too much fun depicting what is essentially slabs of yogurt or sour cream trapped in gooey goodness and coming up with my own parfait concoction when I add condiments.
Breakfast at noon anyone?

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.
