"Le Cupcake"

7 1/2 x 8
oil on masonite
sold


I'm always impressed when other artists photograph their works in progress and explain the various steps until completion. Well, those were my intentions, but only got one photo and before I knew it, I was putting on the finishing touches. So much for "planning ahead"! This at least shows the initial sketch and the start of the beginning shadows in the chef's clothes.

This is a little different "take" for Karin Jurick's current Different Strokes challenge. Be sure and check out the numerous entries of cupcakes. Have been out of town for a couple of weeks, so it felt good to start back painting with something fun and lite!

    I LOVE this! I especially like how you repeated the texture of the icing in the chef's hat and jacket. Really great job on this, Ann!!!

    Hi Ann. WOW! Really cool "cupcake" DSFDF submission. After yours and a few other submissions, I feel like a real fuddy-duddy! :-)

    I suppose that I should lighten up!?

    Thanks to each of you who have commented! Karin has really struck a home run with her DSFDF site. I look forward to the bi-monthly challenge and value the friendship of each artist whom I have met through her blog. Your comments and suggestions are most appreciated!
