This looks so wholesome but I’m lacking the context needed to identify why-

Jewish people don’t celebrate Christmas, to them it’s just another day. So they often would want to go out to eat, but a lot of restaurants here in the US close on Christmas. Chinese restaurants are usually open on Christmas though and they usually have a lot of kosher options, making them one of the prime eating out options. So we started going to Chinese restaurants on Christmas out of convenience and it evolved into a tradition :)

Artist's statement

"From the past several years, I have been working on a series of paintings that deal with both cultural expectations and their visual counterparts. In depicting familiar iconography in unfamiliar ways, I ask the viewer to re-examine both casual and ingrained perceptions. Reality stripped of the comfortable mantle of expectation is both revealing and sad. Humour and whimsy are the pictorial arsenal used to soften the blow."

Remembering James Jamerson on his birthday.

Jamerson was the backbone of the Funk Brothers sound that defined classic Motown. Paul McCartney and many others cited him as a seminal influence.

(January 29, 1936 – August 2, 1983)
