Sounds like an excellent sandwich, right? Well, its also the still life subjects of this weeks THE FOOD SEEN. Mike Geno painted a porterhouse during art school, and from there on out shed the starving aspect of being an artist. His most recent collection Fromage/Homage, elevates simple pieces of cheese to high art. This episode has been brought to you by Hearst Ranch. I never considered cheese because its this whole subculture that I never indulged in. Every time I paint a cheese, I learn more about cheese...My knowledge of meat really helped me learn about flesh tones. Finally, cheese is getting the center stage as opposed to being a prop for other still-lifes. -- Mike Geno on THE FOOD SEEN\n\n"}
