Jersey Blue

oil on wood, 10x10"

Jersey Blue, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

I walked into the cheese shop, and saw this blue and immediately had hearts in my eyes.
I needed to paint this one, it is so beautiful especially since this externally blued and white-rinded blue has such a unique strain of blue mold; it has veins that remind one of meandering rivers from satellite of rivers seen in satellite captured images.
It's an incredibly delicious raw jersey cow's milk blue made by Willie Schmidt in Switzerland.
