Blueberry Cheesecake II Still Life

This is now my third week in painting these small and intimate food paintings. When I paint these little jewels, I feel like a baker mixing the ingredients to create these little sweets. As a kid growing up I remember visiting my Uncle during Christmas and just indulging myself in cheesecake, cream puffs, cakes and twist cookies. My parents and family are from San Marino Italy, so there is never lack of goodies around. Now, my wife who is half Italian (Bari), continues to spoil me. Fortunately. my kids aren't really big on desserts and fine food (they prefer macaroni in a box and Chip Ohoy cookies) - good - leaves more for me...Mangiare !

Cheesecake Still Life

I have several new paintings that are almost ready to be posted on ebay. I went kind of crazy with more of my 'sweets' theme.

This painting of a cherry cheesecake is the first of many paintings that I have been working on the last few weeks. The painting is small (3.5" x 3.5") but not small on richness and color. I have to admit, my wife is a fantastic cook and she spoils me rotten.
