Wow !! A Pic dedicated to Natures Wonderland! Cool.

Oh Cool! Magnification!

I DID get to ride it Lashbear!

Okay, I fixed the crap and added a signature. I've decided, after Orange Blossoms, that my new name is too freaking long to try to write in paint, so I've officially changed my painting signature.

Also added it to the Subs painting, which I'd likewise forgotten to sign (a frequent problem with me, haha). And yeah, I generally try to make it subtle.

OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo Mojo for the sub painting !!!

Have you sold anything on Etsy? I have a friend that does well there with paintings, and you're every bit as good as her.

Morrigoon · 03-27-2011, 10:10 PM

Not on etsy, no. But I was thinking of running some prints and maybe doing Long Beach artwalk. And thanks

Amuse Bouche

Still working on the challenge of painting food. Not nearly the cakewalk I thought it would be. Having learned from Amuse Bouche that white backgrounds don't really work, I tried adding in color. Which is difficult because so many source photos have white backgrounds (tablecloths...)

So tonight I did two. Bought a 3-pack of very small canvas boards yesterday 5"x7", and did two of them tonight.

Lemon Souffle Cake

I'm not super thrilled with this one. The glass plate was a pain to do (albeit a challenge I wanted to pose to myself). And because the original background was white, I had to imagine the effect that a darker background would have. Oh, and I'd wanted a cream background but it came out beige. Meh.

The second one I was happier with.

Cupcake

These are just photos, taken indoors at night, so the colors aren't exact (I'll have to scan them later), but this one's definitely an improvement on the previous two.

So since I have one more from the 3-pack left, I think I'm going to stay in-theme with desserts and paint a slice of pie or something. Voila, a series.

We'll see. Not tonight.
