Cupcake Compulsion (SOLD)

This is a larger piece on stretched canvas. It feels challenging to paint on a larger work and not have it become overworked.  My cupcake models are rock hard. literally. I believe they have a shelf  life all their own.

A still life of chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles.

The Lady Ann (SOLD)

 

Five years ago I was beginning to be....."all about learning this craft of painting". 

Most of the time, during all those brief and fleeting days, I tried being vigilant and conscientious in my efforts to improve those skills . On the days, I could not "hit for shit", or (paint my masterpiece), I often wondered what it was that I had forgotten.  I look back at some of those early works "of which I was all so proud at the time" and I can cringe.

and I look at my early "homeruns"

and now I sigh,.....How could it be any other way?
