"Square Food," Square Plate," 6x8, oil on canvas board

This had two special challenges: First, the plate is square, but it curves up at the corners, and second, lasagna is just hard to paint. First I painted it as it looked, but it was so melty that it was just a pile of unidentifiable food. Eventually, in a short frenzy, I squared it off and added structure. That helped but wasn't enough. Then I added the curly-edged pasta. That worked; apparently curly-edged pasta is what defines lasagna. Heehee.
