Ribbons and Recipes
10 x 15 cm, oil on panel

A tender interpretation of homemade jam — distilled into a quiet moment of simplicity and care. In this miniature painting, two glossy red cherries take center stage: one tucked inside a tiny glass jar, the other perched atop a cork, tied with a red gingham ribbon. The elements are everyday, yet the composition transforms them into symbols of love, preservation, and memory. The checked ribbon evokes kitchens, childhood, and thoughtful gifts made by hand. With its warm tones and precise brushwork, this small panel invites a smile — a reminder that art can celebrate the humble rituals that anchor us. Whether it’s jam, joy, or devotion, this piece honours what’s made with heart and shared with care.
