These journal pages and paintings were found here. I saved this about a month ago and am unable to recall how I came across this artist's work.  His Biography is in Polish so I cant offer much info there either. I was very taken with this strong work and have a certain affinity with the way the journals connect with the paintings.

    Had to laugh MP ... Home run indeed...
    I thought the ingredients alone would tease out more comments ... that is certainly what got me... the sheer inventiveness in the kitchen... plus of course the end result.
    How would they taste?
    And yes the blue in these journals is something... youa re right... the further you scroll... that element of surprise as somethings becomes more than it first seemed! Cant resist that!

    very sweet of you ...you sound rested and ready for the studio! Hope you have pics of the trip to New Mexico!
    I was being completely fanciful asking people to join me for a visit to the Gallery then afternoon tea.... glad to know those out there with a fondness for aesthetics in the edible arena too!

    Fascinating placing them in the 1960's/70's too...

    Merci pour cet échange, je suis passionnée de journaux, de carnets,
    je crois qu'il est temps que je revienne aussi dans les miens ...
    afin d'en recueillir tous les fruits.
    ce billet m'inspire beaucoup.
