"Chocolate & Cherry Glazed Cheesecake"


6 x 6"
oil on masonite
sold

This beautiful, sculptured work of sweetness was one of three slices of cheesecake that I helped devour on New Year's Eve. Before I went back to counting calories.

It gives me great pleasure to paint these ....... somewhat similar to one of my favorite artists, Wayne Thiebaud. Thick, rounded shapes with lots of color - giving honor to a gorgeous dessert.

Karin,

What was the red part of the dessert made of?
Just curious.....

Just beautiful, Karin...I like how the cheesecake is in vivid delicious color and it is set in the gorgeous subdued color of the background. Makes it really pop! Love your work.

Karin,

poop. Heard your class with Carol is mostly sold out and I wanted so badly to come, but March is already booked for me.

(Taking a workshop with artists I admire is on my resolution list AND both you and Carol together were a dream come true.)

If you find that this workshop is so wonderful you want to do it again, please keep us informed!

Thanks.
