1117 Dunkin'

 Today I finished the second of two palette knife workshop classes with Helen Oh at The Palette and Chisel here in Chicago.  It was great fun and a valuable learning experience.  The palette knife was a tiny narrow knife, and using it in a confined space was very different from using a knife on a landscape or abstract painting.

I would love to try painting doughnuts with colored frosting and maybe some sprinkles.  Someday.

123 Sweet Treat

I saw these in a grocery store bakery in Florida and they seemed to say "happy."  What was I thinking?  Even sprinkles have shadows--both cast and form.  Yikes. 

#100. Celebrate and Eat Cake!

This is my 100th consecutive daily painting for Daily Paintworks.  (www.dailypaintworks.com)   I realize it's nothing compared to the likes of Lisa Daria Kennedy and many others who have been doing this for YEARS.  I so admire all of them and especially appreciate Lisa's advice on many things during my start-up.  I can only aspire to continue to grow as an artist and improve in my technique with each new painting.   I am loving the journey!
