I thought it might be fun to try to paint some of the left over valentine's day candy. I didn't get any for the holiday but they were on super sale at the store so I thought it could be fun to try to paint the fluffy centers. It wasn't. They turned out to be much harder than I thought. I think it turned out OK though. I bet it would have been a lot easier in pastel so I think I might try the next one in pastel. There is on with swirly stripes on it. I will paint that one without breaking it open!!

I have been finishing up a couple of commissions so I have not been able to do any painting's-every-few-days until today. I was really happy with this one until I saw it on my computer and it seems like it lost something in the translation. I will have to try it again tomorrow. These little quail eggs-or pheasant eggs I don't know which, are really great!!

For some reason this took 15 tries to get a good photograph so it is hard to see the detail in the cookie itself. I guess it is because of the stark contrast in light and dark and the camera didn't like that .

Pastel

I have been working on a pastel portrait and needed some information from the client so I took a break and painted this. I plan on painting this sucker again in oil but it was just so bright and colorful that I just couldn't resist doing it in pastel too.

I started this little painting about 3 years ago and hated it immediately. I think I only worked on it for about 2 hours. So, I stuck it in a pile of other unfinished paintings, never to be seen again until this week. For some reason it was the right time to work on it and I actually enjoyed it. Maybe I should pull the others from the pile and see what can happen with those???
