"Breakfast for Dinner"
6" square oil on masonite

Hey, something a little different from my landscapes.  I really had fun changing it up.  You never know when you will find inspiration.  The other day we had an easy dinner, breakfast.  I made cinnamon, raisin french toast, eggs, hash browns and sausage.  While I was preparing everything, I thought I should take a few pics of the kitchen aftermath.  I know, I would have preferred to set up my gear and paint it right there, live, but I couldn't leave everything out all night till the next afternoon, when I had time to paint, ew.  I am an artist, but I am also the mom of 4, the mom in me just couldn't do it :)



I love the amazing colors on the inside of the empty egg shells, wowza!

Sloppy Eggs

6"x6" oil on masonite. Eggs are so pretty "sunny side up" However, I like my eggs cooked a little more than that. Being impatient, I usually flip them early, making them pretty sloppy! Mmm Mmm...so much better, though. I didn't have much time to work on these eggs, but I wanted to at least try and post something for our egg day!! Thanks for looking!

by the way I did sprinkle the painting with real pepper, does that mean this is a mixed media?  :D
