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.
Delish! Oh that icing looks so yummy. The plate details, the bright greens, just lovely all around :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila! I like the pastel one...the oil one is just so so to me...note to self: must practice mixing colors!
DeleteLooks like you nailed it to me.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
