The is my painting in response to Carol Marines' "The Broken Egg Challenge" on 

the Daily Paintworks.  Since I just got back from a pastel workshop with Bonnie Paruch at The Clearing Folk Art School  in Door County, Wisconsin and still had all my pastels within easy reach, I thought I would use them, instead of my oils.  I love my new appetizer plates so chose a color that I thought would go well with the colors of an egg.

The Daily Paintworks assignment this week is to "Paint Your Donut".  So, of course, one was not enough since I would be painting at the Mainstreet Studio with my friends.  I ran(not literally!) to Jewel and picked some donuts from the bakery department thinking I would maybe just paint the green decorated Long John in honor of Saint Patrick's Day.  I had brought a red plate and a green plate with me, figuring that most donuts have a reddish tone to them.  When I started my set-up I thought I liked it better with a variety instead of just one donut.  I finished the painting by lunchtime, so these were our dessert.  Yum!

The Daily Paintworks challenge for this week is to paint your sweet Valentine treats before you eat them!  Of course this meant that I had to go buy some fancy chocolates to paint, and while I was there at this really neat store that features all the seasonal holidays with food and home decorations, I had to buy this cute little bird and the pink plate, too!  Yippee!  Now I can eat them..or maybe I should wait until tomorrow?!

Gloria J Zucaro's "Mom's Favorite Dessert"

5"H x 7"W original Pen, Ink & Watercolor 

SOLD

This week for The Artist Playroom,Jennifer Mclean, 
http://www.justaddwatersilly.com/ offered the prompt of strawberries,or "Be Inspired By Food" because Spring made her think of strawberries.  I immediately thought of strawberry shortcake because this Sunday is Mother's Day and my Mom's favorite dessert is good old fashioned strawberry shortcake made with real biscuits,not the ones in a can!  Real strawberries and real whipped cream. Yum!  I enjoyed making the drawing a little abstracted and used a tangle pattern for the tablecloth.  I would also like to say "Hello!" to all my Paint Party Friday friends and add this to this Friday's party.  Happy PPF.  Please visit Kristin and Eva and all the other artists that enter their artwork there.  http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/
