CARUMBA - THAT CONTESSA!

CARUMBA! A CARROT
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

The Contessa struck once again and - S P L A T! - 
I got struck smack in the face with jelly. 

That Kelley is so darn good with jelly donuts that 
it leaves me quivering.

So now I'm sitting and thinking how-to-counterattack. 

Well inspiration struck, for a dear friend, Valorie dropped 
off a gem of a cupcake. And so healthy with a carrot. 
Nothing like taking the guilt away.

Take that Contessa!

    YUM! One of my favorites! I actually MADE cupcakes - spice ones, with vanilla buttercream frosting, but they all got eaten before i could paint one! This one is absolutely dreamy.... but watch out, girlfriend....

    Great comeback...and that oooey gooey icing carrot looks so healthy. Love the bits of orange in the cloth that keeps the eye swirling around. Must head on over to the contessa's blog and see what she's cooking up.

    So luscious and dreamy - both. Love that fanciful, other worldly quality your bring to these. Wonderful subjects. Stunning treatment of them too.
