A Piece of Cake

A Piece of Cake
6x6, oil on board


Despite the title...this little piece wasn't necessarily "a piece of cake"...but on some level it was fun to paint.  I did it a couple years ago from an early morning still life on my kitchen table in soft pastels.  I liked it so I tried painting it in oils.  I still prefer the pastel version below.  Eventually I'll know how to mix (and apply) colors better...assuming I stick to experimenting with oils.

  1. Delish! Oh that icing looks so yummy. The plate details, the bright greens, just lovely all around :)

  2. I like the flowers in bottom right of the pastel better, but I like the oil painting as a whole more. It glows and I love it!
