This Spanish Omelet recipe is one of my go-to meals for a very easy and relatively quick weeknight supper. It also happens to be B’s favorite dish, so it’s a win-win situation! π

!["Iβm painting with the gusto of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which wonβt surprise you when itβs a question of painting large Sunflowers. I have 3 canvases on the go, 1) 3 large flowers in a green vase, light background (no. 15 canvas) 2) 3 flowers, one flower thatβs gone to seed and lost its petals and a bud on a royal blue background (no. 25 canvas) 3) twelve flowers and buds in a yellow vase (no. 30 canvas). So the last one is light on light, and will be the best, I hope. Iβll probably not stop there. In the hope of living in a studio of our own with [Paul] Gauguin, Iβd like to do a decoration for the studio. Nothing but large Sunflowers. Next door to your shop, in the restaurant, as you know, thereβs such a beautiful decoration of flowers there; I still remember the big sunflower in the window. Well, if I carry out this plan thereβll be a dozen or so panels. The whole thing will therefore be a symphony in blue and yellow. I work on it all these mornings, from sunrise. Because the flowers wilt quickly and itβs a matter of doing the whole thing in one go.β (Letter 666 to Theo, 1888)ββββββββ

Perhaps some of Vincent's most well-known paintings were his sunflowers series which he painted in preparation of the arrival of Paul Gauguin to Arles in 1888. He wrote with humor and painted with gusto at this time as he was excited for what he hoped would be the start of an artist colony in this town in the south of France. I see a lot of hope in his sunflowers.ββββββββ
