Amore Toscano

Amore Toscano, watercolor, 22x30" (55x75 cm.), 2007.

This Italian countryside scene came to mind today, while reading Barbara Kingsolver's ANIMAL, VEGETAL, MIRACLE. I've always admired Ms. Kingsolver's elegance, deep knowledge of her subjects, and heart. Her heart is in her writing, She cares. The book is a marvelous story, scientific, funny, the right mixture of her daughter's recipes, her husband's statistics and serious analysis, and her incredible skill at putting it all together. Think globally, and act locally. Eating healthier is better for our personal health, and our future.
Esta escena de la campina italiana vino a mi mente hoy, mientras leia "Animal, Vegetal, Milagro", por Barbara Kingsolver. Siempre he admirado la elegancia de su prosa, su conocimiento profundo de su sujeto, y su corazon. Ella pone su corazon en lo que escribe. Este libro es una historia maravillosa, scientifica, divertida, con la mexcla perfecta de recetas de su hija, mas un analisis serio con estudio de estadisticas escrito por su esposo, y toda la habilidad increible de Barbara Kingsolver de ponerlo todo junto. Piensa globalmente, y actua localmente. Comer mas saludable es mejor para nuestra salud personal, y para nuestro futuro.
