dready art’s ‘dinner at le bernardin’ – 40×17 – original commission on canvas

I first met george through some art i’d done for cayman cookout 2018 (featured below somewhere on the blog) with the 3 hosting chefs: Anthony Bourdain, Eric Ripert and Jose Andres – and we started chatting.

and george introduced me to john, last year, at a dinner for the cookout, the night before they all jetted off from cayman to go to a lunch at strawberry hill hotel in Jamaica, with eric ripert, and come back.

to make a short story just a little longer, the whole group, who had been on that strawberry hill trip, did a six month anniversary dinner at le bernardin in new york with eric ripert again …

and so in time for the cayman cookout this year john asked if i would do a dready to celebrate the group and it would hang in the ritz-carlton grand cayman and it would be a surprise for the group …

what a nice surprise … i went to dinner with them all again last night and how excited they were about being surprised by themselves in art …

food and love
