I remember the paintings, I love the leaf! That liqueur looks interesting, how is the taste?
These are wonderful! The walnut leaf looks almost as though it's floating on water! Beautifully done! :0)
Hello Jane:) Your walnut leaf is beautiful, but the colors of the walnuthulls are amazing! Love it!
How many lunches,in italy, end up with ... Nocino! And each Nocino is always a little different from others.
A series of wonderful watercolors, Jane!
Walnuts come to life under your brush. The nuts, the leaf, all beautiful.
Now Nocino...I am curious what it tastes like too.
Hi, Jane,
I love your work and post! It implies how much you love your family and kitchen.
Cheers, Sadami
Love your walnut studies!! What does nocino taste like?
Oh my goodness, these are so good. I love the mystery and colours that are always features of your work, Jane

thankyou sandra glad you like the simple leaf study .
thankyou renate ..hulls are challenging to paint .
jeanette thankyou so much... the bottle is already turning black ..."nocino" is very syrupy and dark brown almost black ..an aquired taste :)... we added lemon rind gloves cinnamon to alcohol sugar and walnuts ...will let you know in 12 months how our nocino tastes !

I think I like the paintings more than the bitter liquer :) Very interesting, though, I'd never heard of this. Perhaps a painting of the bottle when it's ready?
