<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From the author of the international bestseller<i> In and Out of the Garden</i> and the wondrous sketchbook <i>Sara Midda's South of France</i> comes a long-awaited treasure of a book. Drawn from the artist's wealth of impressions and memories, it is a book for lovers of food and art and fine gift books--a book for anyone who, upon arriving in a new town, seeks first the local market, or who believes the best thing to do on a given night is to share a table with friends. <p/> Sara Midda is a watercolorist whose delicate and beautiful paintings shine like jewels, evoking the sweet purple taste of a summer raspberry or the silvery greens and gnarled burnt umber of an olive grove. And she is also a collagist, weaving together photographs, line drawings, her personal swatches--all the hues of a spice cabinet, or the sensations of a picnic, the colors of the breeze, sunshine, laughter, the cooling grass. And a poet, in love with words that sing, like <i>podding</i> and <i>wicker</i>, <i>nettle</i> and <i>snug</i>. <p/> By turns reverent and playful, <i>A Bowl of Olives</i> is a work of pure enchantment, celebrating food--of the seasons, of family, of travel and memory. It is as richly layered as a favorite meal. <p/> The book is cloth-bound, jacketed, and printed on uncoated stock to convey the feeling of an artist's sketchbook.</p>
