SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

IT'S A PARTY! 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel  Private Collector Nothing like sweets on one's birthday and today  is my day! But of course, as tradition calls I'll be  celebrating for a month. And actually I started my party on September 9th with a dear friend. IT"S A PARTY was sold some time ago, but just love  how joyous this little treat is, so couldn't help posting once again.

SWEET FLOWER POWER 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Round, round, round the whipped sweetness spiraled atop the moist, dark chocolate goodness.  With a puff of white frosting silently tucked in the center.  Sinful....

REACHING COAST-TO-COAST Blogging has really enlightened and broaden my life. I have  met a while back Kristeena Crabb, a mixed media collage artist  who lives in Delaware. Isn't it amazing how far and wide  one can reach without packing a suitcase?  On an added note, Kristeena featured my little morsel (center),   Drizzles on her blog. Painting is such a solitary endeavor,  so it's very enlightening to see what others see in my art.   Quite a honor!  Check her out at: http://kristeenacrabb.blogspot.com/

DRIZZLES 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping Nothing like starting the day with a luscious,  huge cupcake and a good cup of coffee. (By the way.... where is the Contessa?) A crisscross of  vanilla and chocolate drizzles atop swirled pink frosting. Good morning to one and all!

PASSIONATE PINK 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame  Miss Contessa of Cupcakes had a trifecta  with her cupcakes and sold all three - way to go! There's frosting all over my studio now, Kelley .   And she's so right, I retaliated with a bit of pink passion. 

WHIPPED + STICKY PEANUT BUTTER 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Even though the Contessa  (she has her head in the  skies  for  now) and myself are back in a  Cold War,  I had  to get  back  into flinging of frosting for  a  very  good reason.  No,  not to  eat.... but to celebrate  tomorrow's event. I'm the  entertainment  at a Wine, Potluck + Art  Party   hosted  by my friend, Cathy.  We coordinated a successful  one  last  year  and was  asked  to return. So tomorrow I'm  bringing  the  dessert and you  guessed it - cupcakes!  But  we're going  to  paint them first. Such fun!    Oh, this cupcake was from Cupcakeology in  Albuquerque - peanut butter! Isn't the tiny slice  of pie on top the cupcake amazing?

ORANGE OPULENCE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Love rainy days which is such a rarity in San Diego. But this has gone on for several days and have  had my fill of soups. Is the Contessa and myself still in the Cold War?   Really don't know, but what better way to lift one's  spirits than to eat a sweet treat!  This little cupcake was filled with chocolate - at least that is what my husband said - and made at Heaven Sent Desserts .

POW! PINK BEAUTY 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Pssst... I heard from a Birdie to prepare for an  incoming  citrus whammy. Kelley, The Contessa is flinging frosting once again,  so ....  Duck! And now I'm sure everyone needs to sweeten their  puckers,  so here's  a pink fluff.

PISTACHIO PLEASURE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping   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 ?

CHERRY + SPRINKLES 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR What better way to restart the Donut War   than waving a red cherry. And will  Kelley be flinging more  of her infamous jelly donuts?
