Fawn Fruits, food

You might recall the Fawn Fruits artwork that accompanied Thao Nguyen's contributions to GR over the last year or two. Not long after, I asked Daniel if he'd paint a portrait of Wendy and Eloise because I thought his style would make an interesting one. To be honest, I thought it wasn't going to happen because he became super busy with work and other projects. But he contacted me last week and said it was almost ready! Today, he gave it to me over lunch at gr/eats. The piece is outstanding, and now Daniel is in the same, ultra-exclusive category as Dehara (who made the cake topper when Wendy and I got married).


Yes, the food was excellent, too. Above is Michelle's favorite: tofu tacos with no cheese, extra spicy. I have actually asked for "Michelle's favorite" when giving an order there. Below is the curry udon, which I devoured. The dish has evolved from a curry-based soup with noodles to a noodle dish with udon gravy. Incredible. In the background, you can see Daniel's shrimp curry, too.


But back to the artwork. Daniel was working with old photos of Eloise, when she wasn't much older than one. This is what she looked like this morning, now two years old. I should have saved some noodles for her!
