I made three pastry pie like things; an apple pie with sweet and beautiful organic pink lady apples, a mini blueberry pie, and some apricot tarts baked in my new-to-me cast iron pan (from the Jimmy Coole Hurray for Relay garage sale). Then I had a craving for those chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. You know, the ones with a pound of butter and two cups of sugar!?!
If that weren't enough I decided (or Jodie Anne did actually) that there should be a chocolate cake painting, which of course would need a few pieces missing! So we took some time in our busy studio night to have a tea party with dessert and once we were sufficiently full we set up to work. Is there anything prettier than cakes?
Needless to say, I am now sweeted out.
Yesterday in the studio, as a way to negate the saccharine sweetness of late, I painted a disgustingly pretty frozen fish head. Look at this detail --- yummy yuck.
Jodie Anne is giving it her all too, and even though she seems to have moments where she feels she has nothing, the pictures tell another story.
She also came up with the name for our upcoming exhibit : Landlives and Stillscapes. Perfect.

I love, Love, LOVE the cake painting... the colours are so fabulous. And it makes me want to go eat some decadent chocolate treats.
I find it interesting that the detaail of the fish picture makes it appear as if it is basically the same palette as the cake picture... neat.
Keep up the good work, goils.
Do you recognize the teapot ChrissyCoole? I've been promising to have you over for tea and treats since you let the teapot come home with me. Maybe I'll have to make some chocolate treats too?
I love the cake painting! isn't there someone famous who does nothing but donut paintings?
Hello Not A Mermaid! Nice to see you over here.
Maybe you are thinking of Wayne Thiebault? He paints cakes and donuts and deli counters in super sweet icing like paint.
