Finally, I pushed myself to get this one off the easel, I had started this one a month or so back but left it sitting there and I got totally disconnected with this painting. Lately, I find myself to have an inconsistent attention span, I want to do everything and my painting gets pushed back, […]

Mascarpone Créme Brûlée
Yes! Mascarpone and Créme Brûlée a beautiful marriage- the richness of the Mascarpone, as if the Créme Brûlée was not rich on its own, adds an additional creaminess that is quite amazing.

30 day challenge … day 3
Okay… I think I am naming these 30 (5×7) painting challenge, I think it would make more sense to call it the 30 painting challenge. So anyways here it is, this one was very challenging not my favorite, I just couldn’t get those bamboo leaves to my liking but it is what it is and […]
