Sandra Bloodworth's "Intimate Feasts" is an extraordinary presentation of paintings depicting shared moments through portraits of meals. Each painting evolves as a performance art piece, the food carefully prepared, the place settings sculptural, with strong colors and textures showcasing the dishes that are in themselves the work of art. Bloodworth focuses on capturing that moment in time, and creating on canvas a portrait of that special meal
and occasion.
