Belgian Bun (mixed media)
This is for this week's Illustration Friday brief, Enough. Since I rarely eat anything like this, I'm sure it would be quite enough.
I went through a short period of painting still lifes when I first started painting seriously. There used to be an annual show in town called Small Works, and I often submitted still life paintings to that. They did rather well, but the size requirement for the show changed every year and when it got down to 5cm square, I gave up on the basis that what I could ask for them was considerably less than the cost of framing.
Good fun while it lasted, however, and I often feel a desire to get back to still life painting again. After all, a still life is just a townscape on a table, isn't it?

Thanks, murphy girl, and thanks for visiting.
Wow - lovely! I have rarely seen so many scrumptious calories in a painting. It makes me wonder who eventually got to eat it. Are you *sure* it wasn't you?
Well, OK, I may have had a crumb or two. Welcome back.

You're very kind, Nancy. Thank you.
This is cake porn. Belgian buns are heaven, no knife needed, just pick up and chomp. The picture must be good, I'm hungry.
The knife is for those who like to cut their cakes into tiny finger portions. I'm not one of them, but it helped the composition.
