Feb 8 - Raspberry Siracha and Friends

Hmmm, Raspberry Siracha, I love the idea of a spicy donut!

It's also a very pretty one! These donuts are from Dough Loco in NYC.

Last month my theme for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days was Oregon.

The challenge has ended but I'm still rolling with almost daily small paintings.

My February theme is ..... wait for it..... donuts!

I've found there are many artists who start their day with small observational works created in one sitting. It becomes almost a meditation and a centering process.

This painting is acrylic on paper and is 9" X 12".

Feb 7 - Heart to Heart

Funny, I would rather eat a cookie than a donut but

I would much rather paint a donut.

Bakers are having so much fun decorating donuts.

Just look at those donuts. Shiny electric colors for glazes.

 A big squirt of sugary hot pink frosting and then to

finish them with a flurry of sprinkles.

Feb - 6. Lemon Pistachio Old Fashioned

So many donuts not enough time!

I'm going to zig zag my way across the US stopping at donut shops.

I'll be in my painting caravan.

This painting is 9" X 12" and is acrylic on paper.
