Peanut M&Ms Painting

First painting of the year. Goes with my other 4 candy paintings. 12x12" stretched canvas. Acrylic paint. Yummy art.

Snickers

Snickers Fun Size Candy Bar painted on a 12" square strecthed canvas with acrylic paint. This was pretty easy. No problems at all. Except for my lack of motivation and confidence. Once I ignore that, it's really easy. I love doing these candy and food still lifes. Trying to make a lot of them and maybe sell them later this year. Meanwhile it's fun.

FINAL

Donuts

Here's my latest painting, Donuts, just finished today. I'm very happy with it. It took 4 hours of painting time, and a whole week of artist's block! :) Here's the evolution of the painting. It's based on a photo I took (last photo). And it's 12" square. Kind of small for me, but I think I like this size!

White cream, hilites on chocolate, and glaze on bun

Add a few crumbs, and sign!

And here is the reference photo I used. It was dull, so I "ortonized" it to bring out more vivid coloring.
