Cupcake, 5x7

This is my first painting from the Different Strokes From Different Folks Blog Challenge, where artists paint their own interpretations of the same photograph. I chose to focus on a single cupcake and it's shadow. The curves of the icing, the tonal changes in the shadows and the reflection of the yellow cake on the grey tabletop. Cupcakes make a beautiful work of art.

    I like the one of the landscape. I was trying to post in there but for some reason I could not open in there. Like a plein air piece.
