Lately I’ve been stopping after the gym to buy donuts and I’ve noticed they truly have a diverse array. Whoever bakes these is an artist of flavor and texture- at a normal, albeit somewhat bougie, supermarket.

What’s Left of the Donut
I bought this donut to paint. Then, it was late and I took it from the kitchen to the studio. I took a nibble. Then another nibble. This is all that was left.
Overcast, Trastevere
Overcast and just before a drenching downpour. This is not far from the apartment I rented for the week in Trastevere.
Sunset Cliffs
Concha
I’m always attracted to the pink pastries but they are practically impossible to paint since I don’t have the right colors.
Here’s a picture of one of the flops:
Chair at the Korean Barber
Campo in Venice
Here we are on Mardi Gras- no plans to do anything, but in Venice, Carnavale is in full swing. Here’s one from my trip there I hadn’t posted yet.
O Christmas Tree
By a dumpster up the street.
Canalscape
A secret garden on a quiet canal in Venice.
More Macarons
I love these things.
Purple Donut
So I bought this donut before going to Vegas and didn’t have time to paint it. After two weeks in the fridge, it still looked like a donut and smelled like a donut, albeit with less-pretty frosting.
An old-fashioned donut deserves an old-fashioned treatment, doesn’t it? This one comes from the Spanish Baroque.
Cat on a Garage
Blue Trailer, Oklahoma
After visiting my grandfather in Seminole, OK, I decided to take the back roads. I loved the color of this trailer.
French Macarons
Macarons from Le Parfait Paris here in San Diego.
I love their baguettes too- they are European style, rather than the more-common-around-here American artisan style (which I also like). I am planning to try everything on their menu.
The last macaron painting has taken me a year and still isn’t done – the cookies just faded to tan and brown- but I really wanted these for dessert tonight.
The Birthday Cupcake
Half eaten yellow cupcake, cherry-vanilla buttercream frosting. All made from scratch by yours truly.
