Snickerdoodle Coffee and a Cupcake



I have spent the entire morning working on this little painting that I started last night. You will hopefully find it posted sometime today or tomorrow on our www.canvasbycanvas.com website.

It's wonderful to get up early, enjoy some deliciously flavored coffee, listening to the world wake up as our local Mockingbird chirps good morning just outside of our kitchen door, and be able to paint until you finally accomplish what consider to be a "fun" painting. I'm finding out that whipped cream is almost as hard to paint as it is for your system to digest. Maybe I'll paint Cool Whip next time ;-)

One of our members, Betty "Elizabeth" Taylor, calls her blog "Do You Blog Before Breakfast"? Maybe I should call mine, "Do You Paint Before Preparing Pancakes"?

This addition is another painting in our mini-series. When we were in New Mexico, the group decided that it would be a great idea to paint cupcakes to honor our first anniversary as a collaborative group of painters and I thought it was an excellent idea. We formed Canvas by Canvas last July and we've certainly accomplished a lot since then. It's hard to believe that we've only been painting as an organized group for this short period. Time flies when you're with friends having fun!

All of our little gems in our mini series are 0n 6x6 gallery wrapped canvases and can be framed alone or as a group. They are all priced at $40 each. I think they would look wonderful in either a kitchen or a child's room. We are all, after all, children at heart, and who doesn't like cupcakes! Since they're so small and not nearly as filling as a piece of cake, I'm sure that most of the calories have been removed. In fact, there are NO calories in our paintings. Bon Appetite!
