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 !

LUNCH TIME

A GRANNY 5" x 5" pastel gold leaf frame + glass $125.00 + $10.00 insured priority shipping Today I went to Artist Valorie Barnard's home to paint. We always have such a great time painting side-by-side, as I instruct her of my untraditional technique with pastels. Naturally we take mini-breaks to munch on food throughout the day. The hours just fly by and I believe that the food props entice us to take many more than necessary. We worked diligently on apples and here is my completed colorful green, granny apple. Thought we're two health-conscience Artists? Ha - fooled you! I actually took along a bag of mexican donuts and pastries, but we ate the majority of them before much painting could be done. I do have to say, we moved quickly from the sugar rush.
