Sweet As

6"x6" Oil on gessoboard
I knew I would find a use for these white cupcake papers one day! They have been sitting in the pantry for a long time...now and again I thought about baking some cupcakes but it never happened!! I always have a stash of sweets  so I piled some jellybeans  into one. I always love painting white and the way the colors  show through the paper made it even better!!

  3. This is so well done Karen! A clever idea and beautifully executed! Great reflection!
    I just got another laugh when I scrolled down and saw your seagull again - divine!!
    Love your sheep too - I imagine it is tricky getting the colours right when there is not a great deal of variation.

  5. Karen, this is such an appealing little painting. You are the only artist I know who can take a paper cup and a hand full of jelly beans and turn it into a masterpiece! She shadows, the reflection and the colors shining through the paper cup are all perfection.
