Pretty and Sweet Captured on Canvas

So ...

I was in a mood this weekend.

A mood for painting a

pretty little something on canvas.

As you know, this year has been

a very busy year illustration commission-wise

(thank you to all of my wonderful. clients!)

and most of my work that I post here on

Ooh La Frou Frou

has been of my illustrations.

But I have a little secret.

You may not be aware that I

also love painting on canvas.

Since my illustration world has become so

all-encompassing, it's been a bit

since I've had the time to sit down

and create a canvas, but I so looooove it.

And I was in a mood.

So ...

I needed to find the perfect subject to paint.

My subject needed to be Pretty (of course!)

(and not too complicated, as I didn't have a lot of time).

Enter the Sweet part ... Connie Cupcake.

Are you familiar?

I recently ran across a Pinterest pin of a

breathtaking bit of deliciousness.

When I clicked over to her site,

I was ahh-mazed to say the least.

And I knew I'd found my subject ...

something Pretty and Sweet ...

and, of course, I call this painting exactly

what Connie Cupcake calls this gorgeous dessert

"Goldfeather Ladyfinger."

In her words:

"It's just a little biscuit ...

but our Goldfeather Ladyfinger has made a big impact ...

a crowd favorite for someone who's all about the details."

And I am definitely all about the details.

Pretty and Sweet!

If I've now given you a craving for even more

Connie Cupcake,

the following will be a feast for the eyes ...

  

   

  

  

  

  

The shells are white Belgian chocolate lined with seafoam sugar ...

Connie Cupcake
 has a line of cake jewelry ... the cake is designed around
one stunning sparkling piece that can be easily removed for devouring ...

To visit Connie Cupcake, go here.

 So ...
in case you were wondering,
painting on canvas again was so much fun.
So much fun, in fact,
that I'm now thinking of other pretty things
that would make lovely canvas paintings
(not saying what yet ... it'll be a surprise!)
and I'll be sure to have prints made
of those future canvases
that will be available for purchase.

Have a Pretty and Sweet week!
