All the Food That’s Fit to Paint

by Alexis on February 21, 2013

One of the many things I love so much about the Bay Area is the abundance of terrific food. Be it at grocery stores and farmers’ markets, or from food trucks to Michelin-starred dining rooms, we know we’re lucky to have such a wealth of options. When I saw painter Kelly Waters was celebrating the Bay Area food scene in an upcoming show, my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked her if we could share a preview here.

Kelly, who obviously also has a love affair with San Francisco food, wanted to get out from behind her computer more and decided the project to get her going would be to paint Bloody Mary’s from many of her favorite spots around the city. The range of subjects grew from there, and now the collection includes fresh ingredients and iconic dishes from her favorite spots. The resulting watercolors are beautiful and delicious! Kelly’s put together a show which opens tonight (6-9pm) at Pot + Pantry, and will run through March 21st.
