Daily Trompe L’Oeil Painting – Strawberry Pretzel Salad Recipe with Pretzels

“Strawberry Pretzel Salad,” acrylic on panel, 8″ x 8″.
SOLD
When I got married many years ago, my grandmother gave me a book of
recipe cards she wrote out, featuring many of our family’s holiday
favorites. This recipe, Strawberry Pretzel Salad, is a really amazing
summertime dessert we enjoyed from Memorial Day to Labor Day, although
to be fair I’m not really sure why that was the only time we could have
it!

Although I usually just include the recipe cards themselves
in my Well-Loved Recipe card paintings, I thought I’d throw in a few
pretzels, just for a little something extra.

If you’ve never tried this recipe, I encourage you to try it out at your next summer gathering!

Thanks for looking!

All of my paintings are flat, painted with many thin layers of acrylic paint, aiming to look at three-dimensional as possible. I hope you’ll join me on the journey of creating art that brings a little happy magic into the world. I’ll be sharing my process, my insights, and hopefully some things that will inspire you to appreciate the little things around you every day.
