Post 265: Charcuterie Board

Painting Name: Charcuterie Board

They say, "Don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach". I think the same could pretty much be said when painting, but along these lines, "when painting food, make sure you eat a good meal(s) while you are painting it". Good golly, Miss Molly, I am hungry!

What Brought About this Painting?

Sometimes I wake up in the morning with a subject in my head to paint. For whatever reason, I woke up with "cheese". And what's a great way to have cheese? A charcuterie board. You know the song from Julie Andrews, "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things". Well, there ya go. And the farther the painting gets, the more I want to rummage the cheese section at Wegmans.

Watch the painting as it progresses! I started the background yesterday, Tuesday, August 16, 2022. Let's see how far I can get today...

Thursday, August 18, 2022 7:52 pm I think its  done. I'll have to eyeball it again in the morning to make sure.

So who is coming over to help me eat all this?

Friday, August 19, 2022 8:27am - With the am light shining on "Charcuterie Board" I added some mostly tiny tweaks. (Morning rays of sunshine on the canvas are not painted on.)

Varnish and a wire up next and Charcuterie Board is ready to hang!

What Brought About this Painting?

A change in wall theme did it. Therefore Google Search, hello.

"Things that are black and white" gets typed into the search bar. I'm looking for things that are obvious other than zebra, panda bears, black and white cats, dogs, horses, etc. Hmmmm, oreo cookies and milk...there's a thought. Thus a painting.

The finished painting (updated November 6, 2021)

What Brought About this Painting?

Several reasons: if I have learned anything over the years, it is always a good thing to have some back up usually. Occasionally artists are asked for artwork to donate or to auction off to help various other businesses or nonprofits to help raise money. Or it certainly helps when you need a gift! 

Another reason is, who doesn't like pie? Whether apple, blueberry, chess, chocolate meringue, or cherry pie, there has to be a slice of pie out there for everyone. And a slice of pie may be just a nice piece of artwork for your kitchen area. What kind of pie do you like?

Some things I paint just to see how it will come out - if that makes sense. Sometimes it is what might strike a cord with some one else. Art has to speak to you - whether you create it or for the viewer. Tends to be harder to discover what the viewer might take to heart.
