"Love Snack"

The box for these cakes actually does say they are a "snack". Any reference to the B-52's was built upon that basis.

"Cosmic Combination"

 
 
 
6" x 6" oil on gessoed panel
 
This is what became of the 6x6 that I scrubbed out before doing the previous painting. I had been getting caught up in details and complications, so I aimed for "bold and simple". I attempted to paint chocolate and cherries together, but 70% cacao Scharffen Berger chocolate melts ridiculously fast if it gets anywhere near a 60-watt desk lamp, so the best alternative was to use something cake-like that wouldn't melt before I finished the under-sketching. This is the last remaining fresh cherry atop the last survivor from a batch of brownies.
