Cupcakes--Contemporary American Still Life Oil Painting

This weekend I went to the coast for a get away. Too bad, it poured rain and forced me to the pursuit of indoor activities. As a result, I created this 8x10 inch oil painting based on the current Different Strokes Challenge. The good thing about painting these from the photo image is there was no chance I could indulge in their sugary sweetness.

I think I am going to gain weight just looking at that beautiful, fluffy white frosting! Well done!

Thanks, Claire. I'm feeling the same--trying to just look, not taste!
