Start of the Pops

Here's the beginning of my purple pop painting

I started painting detail on the middle pop

once I add in the shadows underneath I feel it will make them pop out more

I'm also still adding another pop in the top right hand corner

Tomorrow I will be working on more details and adding in the sticks

I also want to add some really funky texture on the bite mark

Art Cook Book: Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking

As I was searching Yahoo News today and I came across this lovely book called 

"Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking"

It was created by Dr. Nathan Myhrvol

This series brings food and art together

The photographs are interesting and creative

They give an inside look to cooking 

While giving recipes

(sound familiar?)

It gives you views you have never seen before

 It even shows the basic

Steaming broccoli

This is my favorite I love pasta!

Collage of images from the book

There are Six volumes and it cost $625

And there are 2,438 pages 

It's bring cooking and art together 

just like me

(I found all this information at http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/extreme-eating-inside-the-new-625-cookbook-2464738/#photoViewer=1)

Shoe Show

I know this isn't exactly art related but I just received these Pumps in the mail today

I plan on wearing them for my preview party in May

I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them

They have fantastic texture

While I was taking photos of them I noticed that the texture on my shoes look a lot like sprinkles

maybe thats why I love them so much!

I'm not much of a photographer but I love taking close cropped in compositions 

that are very sharp in one area and unfocused every where else

These were only taken with a sony cybershot 8 megapixel camera

It takes very nice photos for just a hand held 

and I have it for about three years now and it works perfect

plus It's pink <3

I can't wait to wear them.

And here's my cat skittles (Yes named after another tasty treat)

 taking a nap in the box my shoes came in

Pop Shots

I took some basic shots for my painting to use for reference and then I decided to get a creative and start taking some abstract photos

Yum Yum in My Tum

Neat popsicle texture

Start of My Purple Dessert Painting

I have laid down my sketch and painted around it.

I started off with one popsicle but it was to plain and there was so much space around it and it seemed like it was floating in space

I decided to have them scattered about in a playful manner like on a busy summer day

So far I like the lay out, its a little different than my others paintings but I think its a refreshing change 

This is my digital color sketch,

I think I want to do different shades of purple to mix it up a bit

I'm not sure how different I want the purples to be

As you can see the one on the middle left is a more pinkish-purple

I don't want to stray more than that from the original main purple popsicle

Let me know what you think

I will be starting to paint this tomorrow

I'm still not sure of the text yet but i'll let you know.

Popsicle Research

I'm not sure who did this but its pretty cool

These are popsicle soaps, very creative idea

I wonder how they put the rainbow in the top right photo, its very fun!

Sailboat popsicles, This is such a cute idea

Color wheel of popsicles

Yellow Page

This is my Yellow Page

Lemon Meringue Pie is the Painting to go with this one

I'm pretty happy with this one, don't think I'll have to do much editing to it
