Taste Test I

When I go to Gaby Et Jules in Pittsburgh, I assemble a box of macaroons and do a taste test while I photograph them. I can never paint them from life. I've tried, but I end up taking bites during the painting session and the painting never gets finished. Oil on 6"h x 8" stretched linen.

Cupcake with Buttercream

Oil on 4" x 4" stretched canvas. This was part of UGallery's Ornamental Artwork Collection, which can be viewed here. SOLD.

Tea Time

Stella the cat prefers gluten free pastries, but these will have to do. Oil on 12"h x 16"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Dessert

This is another one of the thirty new paintings that I will have on exhibit at Gallery on 43rd Street in Pittsburgh, PA (Lawrenceville) from Friday, October 3rd through December 31st, 2014.  Click here to visit the website. The paintings were mostly inspired by my recent trip to France and will include interiors, sidewalk cafes, food, cityscapes and boats.

This particular painting was not from subject matter I gathered while in France, but from a dinner at my dad's house. He made the chocolate cake, and I brought the wine. Two of my favorite things in this world! 9"h x 12"w oil on stretched linen. SOLD.

Cake and Zinnias

Cake tastes better when served on a pretty plate and with flowers on the side. Oil on 10"h x 8"w stretched canvas.

Cake Thief

A painting of my cat, Stella, looking for ways to take a bite of cake. Though she loves healthy things like Greek yogurt, she loves to indulge in carbs once in a while. Oil on 12"h x 18"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Sweets!

These are only a few of the sweets that one can enjoy at Demel bakery in Vienna, Austria. Oil on canvas 12"h x 24"w. SOLD.
