Piece of Cake

Colored Pencil on Paper
Size: 14 x 18

A visit to the Art Institute of Chicago where I enjoyed viewing pieces of art that depicted food inspired this painting as did my love of gastronomic delights like this piece of cake. I work in colored pencils because they lend themselves to the expression of my realistic style as detail work is possible. Color can be vivid, as the pencils have the intense pigment of oils combined with the transparency of watercolor which allows for layering. Food art like this should make you hungry. Finally, I want the viewer of my art to say, “That’s colored pencil?” And yes, I ate the cake!
