I feel like I ate my weight in delicious clam chowder this week, so I’ve still got tasty New England food on my mind. And since I pretty much always have some sort of food on my mind, I felt like I’d found a kindred spirit when I saw these food-themed paintings from Detroit artist John Azoni. Rather than rolling hills and picturesque seascapes, John finds inspiration in stacks of pancakes, juicy hamburgers and freshly cut avocados. Growing up with a father who cooked gourmet dishes on Sunday afternoons instilled in John a great appreciation for food. He decided to document this love for healthy and guilt-inducing foods alike by creating small paintings that he sells on Etsy. I love John’s slightly loose and informal style — it fits so many of his subjects (donuts and pizza are some of my favorites) perfectly. You can pick up one of John’s paintings right here for $60 — it would make a great holiday gift for the food-lover in your life. xo, grace
