Bay Blue in foil, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

I absolutely love this blue cheese. Point Reyes Cheese sent me a good amount of it to paint for an American Cheese Society commission. It's easy to see why this won best in it's category and no surprise it was Best in Show, 2nd, 2014.

I wanted to revisit this beautiful blue since they sent me so much of it. I decided to paint it within it's recognizable foil wrapper, which I believe is very much identifiable for this blue. I loved the reveled in painting the crazy reflective foil and decided to go BIG for this one, since it's a monumental flavor.
