Chocolate Fudge Cupcake Painting


I've been a little lazy lately and can't seem to concentrate. I seem to be painting what I'm thinking about. Cupcakes, to some of you, may not seem like work, and just because I love painting them and don't need to concentrate, doesn't mean I'm not working. Sounds like I'm making excuses for not putting my mind to work on a village scene to me. But believe me, it's hard to paint these and stay away from the kitchen. Now that's hard! I don't know about hard work, but it's hard to not go whip up a batch of these chocolate fudge cupcakes and eat myself silly!


I added this little "Fudge Cupcake" painting to my eBay auctions this evening.

A chocolate fudge cupcake with chocolate frosting is painted on top of a recipe from an old cookbook that is decoupaged to a canvas. Tiny colorful confetti in shades of pink, blue, and green are sprinkled on top of the fluffy frosting. A pink cupcake liner and a "fudge" tag embellish this yummy cupcake. A tiny black and white checked ribbon is hot glued above the label. I've also attached a pink satin ribbon to the edge of the canvas and tied it in a bow at the top. The entire picture is painted except for the recipe and the ribbon.

  13. Yes, they do look yummy. You're doing well to stay out of the kitchen after "baking" these paintings all day!

  14. Hi Cathie :)

    All your cupcake paintings are so cute! I love all the commisioned work you've been doing too. As soon as we put a porch back on (it used to have one) I would love to have you to paint our new house. I've been waiting forever to ask, but it might be a while still, because we have to wait until we're finished on the inside ;)

    Anyway, I've missed you!

    hugs,
    rue

  15. Catherine,
    I can see why it would be hard to focus with such a mouthwatering edible looking creation dripping off your paint brush! Have a creative and happy week!
