wonderful winter As seasons change itâs a great opportunity to change our diet. Try out new foods. Local foods that werenât in season in the summer or fall. Paying attention. Winter is the time for eating fresh cool crop fruits and vegetables plus dried, fermented or stored foods. Iâm big on dried beans this time of year. Traditionally we ate dried beans during the winter and science has proven cooked beans value on the plate. Soak some beans tonight for tomorrowâs meal.

still loving citrus seasons provide Iâve observed that the climate provides us with the essential nutrients in context to place. Who doesnât need vitamin c, by example during the winter months? Not only are the nutrients provided by the season but taste too. Delicious citrus brings the brightness of summer into our dark winter months. #nutrition #taste #health #seasons #winter #dessert #california #brianhowlett https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnw5cAtrR_k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the latest watercolor painting in the VENATION series the rain is a perfect backdrop for painting. itâs always an emotional roller coaster when concentrating on a painting. painting is a complete world unto itself. the result is always surprising and informative. mostly informative for and about yourself given the choices and the resulting actions you take. hopefully others find the results intriguing. #rain #watercolors #painting #learning #expression #life #brianhowlett #art #mystery #venation https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSPn7Ov6C5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

where art & food field & stream planting & paint meet The visual arts and the culinary arts. Together My recent series of watercolors are based on the structure, building blocks of nature as seen in the observation of a grape leaf. VENATION #1 and my Study of a Grape Leaf, drawing. Art, painting and drawing bring us closer to the exterior landscape and the interior landscape. #art #watercolor #food #grapes #wine #table #field #landscape #interiorlandscape #brianhowlett #culinaryarts https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzDpABPZ0p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hybridized seduction vegetables are taunting us inviting us to take to hold to indulge a friend asked what I was doing, the art of seduction. inviting people to put down that fast food, that candy bar, hoho, dingdong, industrial cupcake and indulge in fresh, in raw and or less processed, less manipulated food. especially fruits and vegetables. preferably local, grown without chemical intervention, organic even biodynamic. howâs that going? he asked with a smirk. #fresh #local #fireroasted #vegetables #organic #tabletop #stilllife #seduction #california #californiacuisine #brianhowlett https://www.instagram.com/p/ClukFYzJBd3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
