Red Velvet Cake Painting
Sloping cake- for sale
This slice of cake kept wobbling and falling over. So I trimmed the bottom off the cake and ate it, and then it leaned like this.
Pan Dulce Still Life
Concha pastry – buy now
I love these things.
Why does the concha appear to be floating? I propped it up in the back so I could see more of the top.
Donut Painting

Old fashioned glazed donut from Donut Bar in San Diego… delicious.
Easter Bunny Donut Painting
Easter Donut – for sale
Glazed donut in the shape of the Easter Bunny, with Jelly Bean eyes.
This is from a place in San Diego called Donut Bar, where you wait in line for an anxious eternity to get what are apparently THE BEST DONUTS IN THE WORLD.
As you can see, I bought a few…
Only painted this one though. The rest are slated for demolition tomorrow.
Happy Easter!
Easter Peeps
Pink Peeps – buy now
A gang of pink marshmallow Easter Peeps.
There’s a school of thought that color harmony alone can give you any light effect you need in a painting. The Impressionists and yadda yadda.
I don’t ascribe to that school; instead I bought a special color of paint that I thought would go to the perfect hot pink for these Peeps. Of course I don’t want to drop $15 on the wrong color so I was on pins and needles until I got the tube home.
And I was RIGHT!!
Holbein Geranium Lake, if you feel a need, as I invariably do, to paint some pink peeps of your own.
French Macarons Still Life Painting
French Macaron Painting- for sale
French Macarons. Raspberry and Black Currant, I believe. It was difficult not to eat these.
Whole Foods in Hillcrest just had a major makeover. Now they have a cafe with wine, coffee bar, juice bar… and a giant expanded selection of desserts! Including these macarons.

Another fallen peep.
Everyone’s crazy about Anders Zorn right now and yes, this is the Zorn palette, only I switched in more Cadmiums- which I think he did too. But I’ve read so many contradictory things about his work that I have no way to know for sure.
Coconut Birthday Cake Painting
Coconut Cake- for sale
This is another from a brief but obsessive period when I painted baked goods, mostly slices of cake. Half of this slice got eaten, half of this slice got painted.

Miniature Eggplant Still Life Painting
Mini Eggplants- for sale
So miniature eggplants are good for cooking. They’re not bitter, and you don’t have to soak them in salt water. This is also true of Japanese eggplants, by the way.
Food lesson over!
They are also fun to paint.
