“I take whimsy very seriously…”

Short Step by Step Acrylic Painting Video Demo of a Chocolate Vanilla Fudge Ripple Ice Cream Cone

Here’s are some video clips of me recently painting this 24″ x 12″ Chocolate Vanilla Fudge Ripple Triple Scoop Ice Cream Cone, acrylic on panel. I loved working on this one, though it did require a lot of extra time, particularly the details in the ripples of fudge. In all, it took about 50 to 60 hours to complete. 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.
