Supermarket Sushi

Supermarket Sushi
Kristine Kainer
Oil
10x8

Every now and then, the sushi case at my local supermarket calls my name. Glistening little delicacies of hand cut and formed fish and rice maki, nigiri, and rolls beckon to be taken home, kissed with soy sauce and a dab of wasabi, and eaten with delight.  (Washing it down with a Kirin Ichiban or Sapporo doesn't hurt either.) Yes, supermarket sushi is not upscale, nor is it meant to be.  The green plastic grass like garnish and a foil package of soy sauce make that obvious.  Yet, it can "hit the spot" when a burger and fries just won't do.

Rainbow Trout on Ice


Acrylic on panel - 6x8 - $100 Click to purchase
I am obsessed with backgrounds lately (as some of you have already commented)! This time, I did something completely different--"encasing" a technically correct rainbow trout on (and in) ice cubes. It took a few hours to render the cubes; ultimately, I am quite pleased with the result and find the painting more interesting with this change.
