Cupcake

I couldn't resist this composition or the subject matter. The cupcake was Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting! Yum.

I was inspired by the paintings of Marc Whitney, Tony Merrithew, Manny Farber, Tom Brown, and of course Wayne Thiebaud.

I am pleased with the the tone and texture. I think it might translate to a larger format as well. Similar to Thiebaud I slathered on the oils for the frosting, although I want to try a different brush or pallet knife. As a Foodie I enjoy painting anything culinary and I think it show in this canvas.

Inquiries & comments welcome.
