Strawbridge, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

Meadowood Farms sent me their pasteurized sheeps' milk cheese that is modeled after the famed Montenebro from Spain. The soft oozy paste is light, springy and chalky and has a tart, tangy, and slightly citrusy flavor.

I decided to paint this one with the green and white check patterned wrapper that Meadowood Identifies with, ever since I met the Cheese maker, Veronica Pedraza who was wearing a shirt that matched it!
