Brillat Savarin
oil on wood, 16x16"
From the Cheese Portraits series.
This triple-cream cheese, named after 19th century epicure,Jean Anthelme who is considered the father of the "low carb" diet; he was way ahead of his time. The finest examples are ripened in its cozy wooden box under a thin coat of wrinkled yellow Geotrychum mold which blooms into a beautiful cheese model. This cheese is creamy and offers complex flavors of butter, mushrooms and hints of nuts and truffles.
I was fortunate to be at an event where I met Sam Studd, representing the company his father, Will Studd, began as a cheese specialist, curatinging and collecting the best cheeses around the world. I asked Sam what would he suggest from his collection that I paint. He answered by handing me a young wheel of this beauty. After a delicious tasting of it, he suggested that I let this young wheel age another week or two and it will be perfect. Sam was dead on. I had such a fun time painting this indulgent, creamy sexy cheese.
