Art from Yuri Zupancic
For these miniature works, paint is applied with tiny brushes -some of which I craft by hand using my own eyelashes. The paintings are visible to the naked eye, but the size is usually a square inch or less, so magnifying glasses are supplied at gallery showings.

Recipe
Artichokes with smoked herb mayonnaise
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/artichokes-with-smoked-herb-mayonnaise
4 large artichokes, stems trimmed
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped dill
2 tablespoons chopped capers
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon smoked sea salt
1/4 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
Hot sauce
Freshly ground pepper
Set a steamer basket in a large pot over 1/2 inch of boiling water. Arrange the artichokes, stem side down, in the basket. Cover and steam over moderate heat until a knife easily pierces the stems, about 30 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to a platter.
In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, dill, capers, lemon zest and juice, salt and paprika. Add a few dashes of hot sauce and season the mayonnaise with pepper. Serve the artichokes warm or lightly chilled with the mayonnaise.
