PANTING, PLEASURE, PISTACHIO

PISTACHIO PLEASURE
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame

 A petite flower nestled atop the mounds of fluffy frosting.

So delicate, rich and nutty in taste. 

And then the frosting began to fly in a flurry!

Moans of delight with each bite of a pistachio morsel.

Oh no.... in the frenzy I forgot to look.

Where's Kelley?

    How Delicious!!! Love the reds in the paper and the contrasting green swirls in the icing. This one is too beautiful to eat, but I know you forced yourself to do it anyway.

    Yes, where IS Kelley? You may stop this war in it's tracks.

    I love this at the size you painted it but I can visualize it as really large - like 4'x4' - it would be so impressive!
    And I know it's hard eating your model but if you don't do it somebody else will.
    We all have to make sacrifices:-)
