chocolates

It took a lot of chocolate to paint this.

Photographing it drove me nuts.

Personally, I don't like chocolate and nuts,

so I figured I better just close the box.

My friend's chihuahua, Cosmo, LOVES chocolate and whenever it's around and within reach, he eats it. Always with very unhappy (though never life-threatening) results. So far. This box would kill him!; February 18, 2011 at 8:34 PM
Celeste Bergin said...: ooooooooo I love the design of this..it all looks so chocolate-y. I do like chocolate, so I am glad this is at your house! (haha)..beautifully painted.; February 18, 2011 at 8:39 PM
Carol King said...: chocolate and nuts are my very favorite. My mouth started watering when I saw this. Yummy!; February 18, 2011 at 9:41 PM
Sheila Vaughan said...: I don't normally like chocolate paintings (I mean paintings of chocolates) but somehow this has some integrity. It isn't pretending to be the chocolates themselves. It remains a "painting of chocolates". I like how I can see the weave of the canvas too. A whole horizontal series of these paintings on a wall would look intriguing.; February 19, 2011 at 1:25 AM
Sonya Johnson said...: This is very cool! I like how you've rendered it as almost an abstract image: it's clear that these are chocolates, but there's no other context (box, plate, etc.), so it's all about their shapes and textures.

I have never been happy with photos I've taken of paintings on canvas, so I understand your frustration there.; February 19, 2011 at 7:31 AM
