Chocolate Cupcake Surprise


A commissioned treat. I don't always give a glimpse behind the curtain, but sometimes the fun needs to be shared. I am still working on several commissions in the studio, gearing up for a rather large project coming up. I thought you might enjoy one little chocolate surprise, one little fanciful piece that another thoughtful friend commissioned for another.

I wanted the light of friendship to show through. I also added just a smidge of green in the skirt so it would be site specific. Part of my reward is hearing how delighted the recipient was...receiving her first commissioned painting. To my artist friends who know my large work and how lovely those huge important commissions are...well this one too was truly a delightful pleasure. Art will feed your soul.

Wishing you a Happy New Year . Its going to be 103f on New Years eve in my part of Australia ( about 98f right now) so that little choccy cake would be a brown puddle! LOL
Have not done any pastel work lately - too hot and sticky.

All the best in 2008
