Food, Glorious Food!

"Birthday Cupcake"

5" x 5" 

Stretched Canvas

I guess you gotta go with what you know!  I had snapped a picture of a cupcake my sweet friend, Michelle, brought me for my birthday a few months ago.  Given my sudden lack of inspiration and/or talent, I thought I would return to the safety of my comfort ....food!  And, you know -- I think it turned out pretty well and my whole painting session just seemed to have -- what is it the LAX bros call it?? -- flow.  Yes, it had flow.  So I am going with it.... On to the next serving!

Back to Food!

"Margarita Cupcake"

6" x 6"

Stretched Canvas

Look for me on Etsy soon!

I just had to take a break from the beach paintings for just a minute and, you know, my favorite other subject is food!  I had a great birthday last weekend (even though I ate my birthday melon a day early AND didn't get the candles like I had planned) and a sweet friend brought me two yummy cupcakes to celebrate.  This one was Margarita flavored and it was the most awesome cupcake EVER!  It had a little straw in it, just like a drink and a slice of jellied lime!  Of course, I took pictures of BOTH cupcakes for future painting reference (what a goober!) but this bright one appealed to me today!  Bottoms up!

Cupcake!

This cupcake is a result of a new Facebook friend's comment on the lemon painting.  K.C. said her daughter reached out for the lemons for her tea and maybe she needed some cookies to go with!  I didn't have time to bake cookies, but I ran to the little cupcake shop down the street and came back with this decadent treat.  I added the cherries myself and messed around with the frosting a little to get it right and then, just for kicks and grins, spotlighted the side cherry.  It was fun to paint and even MORE fun to clean up afterwards!  Mmmm-mmmm!  This is why I love painting food items....
