Hooligan
Series: Cheese Portraits
Description: This is a tasty cheese from Cato Corner Farm, in CT. It's a bit stinky and tangy and at the same time pretty mellow and therefore easy to eat. I got this small little wedge to add to a cheese board but never had to the chance to use it. So I painted it and of course.. ate it as soon as I finished the painting. here's some info from the Cato Corner Farm's site: "Made in 1.5 lb wheels, Hooligan is a ripe washed-rind cheese with a soft creamy interior and a gorgeous orange rind. Hooligans are bathed twice a week in brine to encourage the growth of pungent, surface-ripening bacteria. The Hooligan melts beautifully for a fabulously stinky toasted cheese (a bit like raclette). Sold whole in small wheels with basket lines on the rind. Aged 2 months."

Tapping Reeve
Series: Cheese Portraits
Description: I feel a little guilty for receiving a half wheel of this incredibly delicious hard cheese with a natural rind and a sweetness that makes it addictive. You see, the wheels are not small and this award-winning cheese is of such a high quality, it's certainly not a discount cheese. So, It makes complete sense to paint a grand portrait of a big, craggy, crumbly luminescent chunk(s) and take advantage of the amount given to me. However, I just couldn't decide on a composition for such an ambitious portrait. Finally I decided to do just the opposite. This narrow wedge was intentionally cut thin so I could set it up to glow. Backlit and translucent, I realized I just wanted to have fun with color in a modest and intimate sized cheese portrait. Tapping Reeve, is technically a stirred curd cheese with a brushed natural rind. While the flavor profile is similar to a Cheddar, it does not technically go through the cheddaring step in its making. This cheese is sweet and savory at once, likely due to being aged for around two years. It's named for an 18th century lawyer, judge, and law educator. In 1784 he opened the Litchfield Law School, the first law school in the United States, just up the road from the Arethusa Farm where it's made. A number of influential thinkers of the Colonial and early post-Revolution eras were educated there, including Aaron Burr.
