"Cake Crumbs" daily painting

I was discussing making decisions with a friend yesterday. She was having trouble with a important choice she had to make. Decisions are much more difficult than the actual doing. I said my problem for the day was deciding which cupcake to paint. "Cake Crumbs" oil on gallery-wrap canvas 8"x 6."
Available at Richard Danskin Galleries
The contraption at the right is the light "tent" I use to photograph my little oils if I can't find a good spot without glare. It really comes in handy. It also came with two spot lights with glare filters. I got it at a camera store.

Chocolate Cherry Cupcake daily painting

Talk about chocolate overload. You'd definitely need a glass of milk with this one. I took this photo quite awhile ago. I don't remember eating this cupcake. Maybe I was so buzzed by all that chocolate my mind just became a blur. Or, maybe I just threw it away. I'll never know. Oil on gallery-wrap canvas, 8'x6" Available through Richard Danskin Galleries.   Contact gallery to purchase.

Connect the Dots daily painting

Another cupcake...no calories. This one took forever. I say again that it is easier to paint larger. I could have easily done a 12" x 12" in the time this 6" x 8" took. Painting alla prima...all in one session....sometimes makes it difficult to add shading, etc. When the paint is still wet it's difficult to layer. When trying to darken an area the brush can actually pick up the underlying color and blend for a not-so-dark result. Tricky business this business of art. This piece is available at Richard Danskin Galleries in Palm Desert.  Contact gallery to purchase. "Connect the Dots" Oil on gallery-wrap canvas, 8" x 6.

Rose on Top daily painting

I painted this while watching "Cupcake Wars" They invented that show just for me. I just signed up for a new auction site created just for Daily Painters by Carol Marine. The charge is only 3% for sales compared to eBay's 9%. eBay is now even adding your shipping costs to the total amount they use to calculate the percentage. Carol is a very successful daily painter whose works sells daily for well over $150. You can see my auction here. To see other art in the auction click here. I think the quality of work is higher in general than eBay
