one of the architects left these for me on my desk this morning. i totally forgot it was purim!

 

thanks, carolinn. these were tasty and awesome.

Yesterday's post was a little animation that I created with Procreate, of a bouquet made of hamentashen (triangular cookies eaten at Purim.) Procreate captures each stroke as you draw and creates a little video. Today I am publishing the drawing, which is the final frame of the video. I used Painter to clean it up a bit.

Most of this batch stayed together!

Purim is almost here, which inspired me to make this piece of digital art today. Last year I made a drawing of hamentashen (triangular cookies filled with jam), and used Painter to capture a pattern from the drawing. This afternoon, I used the pattern with Painter's pattern pen. I worked in digital chalk on yellow "canvas", then cropped to get this composition. Then I posterized the image, and here it is.

Here is another pen-and-ink exercise, more hamentashen (triangle-shaped filled cookie eaten during the Jewish holiday of Purim.) I started this drawing yesterday but abandoned it because there were too many mistakes. Today I went back to it and finished it up, using a dark background to fix some problems. I also did a little digital cleanup with Painter.

Clockwise from 12: split pea soup; whole wheat pasta w/olive oil and sundried tomatoes; fresh steamed broccoli and green beans; and strawberry (singular), grapes, and a few blueberries.

On top is a hamentashen cookie - chag purim!

To celebrate Purim this year, Josh and I made what I call "Hammertime" cookies, but are actually "Hamentashen". What? "Hammertime" is more fun to say? I agree.

We used three different types of jam and then they exploded in the oven. We covered them with fresh berries and all was well.

I like that when you forget the name of a thing, you can Google on something like "Jewish Hat Cookies" and get the answer.
