Bad glare, sorry about that - I couldn't find a way that this background wouldn't almost 'glitter' with reflected light. I used only transparent colors to make it and I think that makes a big difference. Next time I'll try to remember to throw in an opaque color to stop the light dead. I think it was almost a year ago that I started my first jelly donut series - when I first discovered Emily Eveleth and was inspired by her. I think this donut is much better than the earlier attempts, whether that is because I've done about 200 paintings since then or because I've just learned to see a little better... I don't know.
YUMMMMM!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just had to let you know that this painting is making me go all the way down to the kitchen for a midmorning snack.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, wonderfully rendered donut! I LOVE the way you painted the sugary glaze, and the ooze of the filling. All your work with those first 200 donut paintings has culminated in a big payoff with this one!
Love the food paintings. The pastry looks like it was done with butter and the oranges with orange juice. Yummy, yummy!
ReplyDeleteLooks verrrrry tasty! The shine on the filling coming out is perfect, looks very real. And I think that doing 200 paintings automatically means we have learned to see better.
ReplyDeleteThe sugar is amazing. How did you do that?! And the jelly looks like you could touch it, or better yet eat it. I loved your first donut paintings, I definitely remember them. Actually you may have inspired me to do donuts stacked up tall on my 6 x 12 canvas. I have been trying to figure out what to do with them. Would that be terrible? ;-)
ReplyDeletedarn that looks good! I'm enjoying catching up. Your paintings are beautiful.
