Life's Short...Eat Dessert First!



Life's Short...Eat Dessert First!
6x8, soft pastel

I always pass by the bakery at our grocery store rather quickly...avoiding the tempting pies, cakes and artisan breads.  But recently,  for the sake of art, I stopped and purchased two mini-desserts in order to have suitable props for a couple still life paintings.  I think I broke some kind of an artist's rule though...I ate this mouth watering little lemon cake before my painting was finished.  Oh well.  My new motto is: Life's short...eat dessert first (even if the painting isn't finished).
