Untitled Cupcake Commission

'Untitled Cupcake Commission' - 6" x 8" - oil on canvas - SOLD

In this case, I was spared the agony of having to buy, plate, photograph and then discard uneaten the cupcakes for this commission. The buyer provided a perfect photograph of their own. My thighs and arteries thank them.

Rise and Shine

'Rise and Shine' - 6" x 6" - oil on hardboard panel - SOLD

It's like 'Now Being Served' revisited. There's a story in this which I never told. Back in December, when I was sending 'Now Being Served' off to get framed for competition, the framer damaged it. I only discovered the damage because they also did a super lousy job of framing it and it had to be redone. In taking it out of the frame, I noticed they had bolted (yes, BOLTED) it into the frame so tightly that the frame literally dug into the painting itself. It looked like someone had carved the painting with an Exacto blade. It was awesome. There was cursing involved, I believe. So, I repaired it and took it to another framer. It came out perfect. HOWEVER, I could not be persuaded to offer it for sale. I'm picky that way, I guess.

As it was never put out to the world for any reason other than exhibition, I felt okay to repaint a similar design when asked. 'Rise and Shine' is the end result, and, like the original, was a blast to paint.
