6" x 6" oil on gessoed panel
I've always liked the appearance of these kinds of cookies. The lady of the house brought some home from her office Christmas party, and suggested I paint them. This is the second time I've had a subject like this, and I've found that cookies with sugar on them are a surprising challenge to paint.
Thanks to everybody who stopped by the table to chat at the show on Saturday! Unfortunately there were no reindeer to sketch - for that matter, I didn't have a chance to crack the sketchbook, with all the crowds. I've had some technical issues here today, my computer picked up a virus last night somewhere and I ended up spending all day tracking it down and killing it, but tomorrow I plan on introducing a direct sale page for the paintings I had at the show, among others. Stand by.
