When I choose to paint this piece, I thought it would be a walk in the park. Little did I realize that the myriad of hues in all that fruit would translate to way more time than I would have imagined analyzing and mixing colors? I wanted it to be free and glistening and that it is. The cheesecake is held in place with a clear collar which reflected nicely the gold fluted plate. When I am finished with this Paris series, you will be well on your way to learning the French language. Pay attention – there will be a quiz. Répetez après moi - fermez la fenêtre.February 7, 2008

Those luscious pieces of fruit look too good to eat... I can't imagine that this dessert could have tasted as good as you have painted it!
Hey Mark! Welcome back from Paris (I said that with a French accent - did you hear it?)
One (and only one) of the things I love about your art is how brilliant and full of LIFE it is! Okay - maybe the dead chickens aren't full of life, but I think you know what I mean. The vibrancy of the colors, the variety of the subject matter, and the wonderful sense of humor that shows up in the painting and the comments - well, what more can I say... I am just a big fan is all!
A bientot!
I just have to say, you really know how to play with your food! And paint it too.
Thanks, girls! You are the reason I do this. God knows it isn't for the money. Getting feedback like this is like a drug, I can't get enough. More than red dots, I love knowing that other artists are looking at and appreciating my creative efforts.
...and Sherry - I love the trompe l'oeil play of comics and objects. They are clever and wonderful.

Hi Mark. I'm delighted to discover your work and so glad to see you on DailyPainters. This is a luscious painting!
I agree that getting the feedback from others, especially artists, is indeed rewarding. After working in solitude for hours or weeks on a painting, it's nice to know someone out there notices and appreciates what went into it.
