Red Dragon, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

Good friends recently brought this back from a vacation for me to paint it. They had the most flavorful experience and I'm glad they decided to share it with me - it's intensely delicious!

Red Dragon made in a traditional style in Wales, UK. This smooth, firm tasty cheddar is made with Welsh brown ale and mustard seeds. Red Dragon is a buttery and spicy cheese with plenty of bite and is aged for three months.

I loved painting the mustard seeds (which was more challenging than I expected) and I especially enjoyed translating the thick waxy rind.

Origin: UK, Wales
