Large Fruit Tart Painting – 16 inches by 16 inches

“Fruit Tart,” acrylic on panel, 16″ x 16″. SOLD
ABOUT: “Fruit Tart,” acrylic on gessobord panel, 16 inches x 16 inches. 
Matte/Satin Polymer Varnish.

I
used a small fruit tart from my local grocery store as the model for
this piece, blowing it up to many times life size. This food painting is
overall a little different for me – bigger, a little more stylized.

It
has been coated with a removable matte/satin polymer varnish, thinly
applied, so the little bit of paint texture the piece has shows through.

As I always note, the colors will vary from screen to screen,
despite my best efforts to photograph. The background is a light
blue-gray color. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks for looking!

I’m a full-time acrylic realism and trompe l’oeil painter creating whimsical food paintings inspired by real-life creations that I bake, decorate or scoop in my kitchen. 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.
