Satisfaction

Can you tell that I really like cupcakes and fruit? And cupcakes with fruit are the best. This little dragon seems to agree since he seems to have finished off his cupcake pretty quick and is saving the cherry to have just as soon as he doesn't feel so very full.
Until I started to look for what I wanted to post about this week, I didn't realize how often food seemed to be featured in my work. Tiny dragons and fairy cats with berries and cupcakes or a nice hot tea. I will confess that the fruit is more common for me to paint in the warm months when we are finding such beautiful berries and such in the grocery stores or growing wild on the the side of the road. And hot tea? My favorite winter treat.
Okay the apricots in the kitchen are calling..... At least I don't have cupcakes in the house to be tempting me late at night.

Dragon Sweets

I seem to be painting a lot of cupcakes these days. I have chosen to share this one with you all, because it is how I am feeling right now. We spent Saturday making pink iced cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party today. And I am tired. She got to help decorate them. She manned the sprinkles much better than I did the icing.
Dragon Sweets was created for a Pay It Forward Project that I did on my facebook fanpage last month.

Anticipation. Really, what can I say about this little fellow. Everyone needs a cupcake. This was done with my little girl in mind. All pink and frothy and sweet. It makes me think of little girls' summer tea party a la Fancy Nancy.
This is actually part of a set with a spare strawberry and the words "Happy Birthday" and "Special Day".
