Day 20: Appetizers, Crab Cakes

Day 20 of 30 paintings in 30 days, Jan 2014

"Appetizers: Crab Cakes with Dill Sauce"

6x6 Acrylic on Ampersand Flat Panel

 Buy Now on Daily Paintworks

More food. These were the appetizers served at the workshop dinner.  Crab cakes with dill sauce.  I love painting on these smooth panels we used for the class.  I usually paint on canvas boards, and these are so different.  Leslie recommended this surface for oils, but they are great for acrylics if you are trying to get lots of detail.  Ampersand Museum series panel, 1/8 inch thick with a premium acrylic gesso surface - no preparation needed.  Just paint away!

Day 19: Blueberry Muffin

"Muffins"

8x10 Acrylic on Canvas Board

Buy on Daily Paintworks

I took the reference photo for this one myself, with my Iphone camera, and even figured out how to get the picture into my computer.  I ate the blueberry muffin, but the other was either bran or chocolate chip, and I figured two would be over the muffin top, so to speak.  I have lots more photos of the wonderful food we ate at Leslie Saeta's workshop last week.  Can't wait to paint them.

30 Painting in 30 Days: Challenge for January PPF

This month I am signed up for Leslie Saeta's Palette Knife painting workshop on Facebook for 30 days. I have never painted much food, so at my daughter's suggestion, I think the topic of the month will be "Culinary Delights."
