Orange Swirl


"Orange Julius" - 6" x 6" - oil on cradled hardboard panel - SOLD
*
The third and last in the series of cupcakes on a blue and white plate. Your eyes do not deceive you; I have indeed added quite a bit of gold painted detailing in the plate that was absent from the previous two cupcake paintings. In this painting, the design seemed appropriate, so I did not eliminate from the final work. In the others, it was overbearing - at least to my eye - and I left it out.

By the way, this cupcake is delicious...or so I've been told. ;o)

This does look delicious. And a fabulous job on the gold leaf. Looks real the way you've captured how the light changes as it moves across the plate.

Love your purity of form and the striped icing "takes the cake"!! Jeanne

I am a watercolorist and have been following your work for some time. It is simply brilliant - clean and fresh, yet with thought of design. I just love it. Bravo on this little diddy... my tastebuds are craving dreamsickels now.
