The Other Side

"The Other Side" 6" x 6" Oil on canvas panel

After the box has been open for a day or so, the delight is more in the sight of the morsels, not so much about the scent. Hey, that may be the sign to open a new box! 


This is actually the opposite side of the first white one I painted.  Um... it no longer exists.  But let me tell you what was inside—a milk chocolate shell under the white, with a luscious caramel filling in the hollow.


Thank you for visiting here today.

White Chocolate

"White Chocolate" 6" x 6" Oil on canvas panel

When the bow is untied and the lid is lifted to release the aroma trapped inside since the factory, it really wants to get out.  A box of chocolates, freshly opened is a delight to the nose and eyes.  But in Studio B, only after they've been painted can the tongue enjoy them, too.  


White Chocolate was an exercise in color-mixing.  The sheer creamy white allows what's inside to show through, and it's usually dark. I mixed sepia, sap, burnt umber, cad red light, cad yellow and white to make white chocolate.  Who knew it would be so involved?

Thank you for lifting the lid today.
