Cupcake #96 **sold**


A simple sunny vanilla cupcake covered in star shaped sprinkles. It's the cup itself that is my favorite part of this cupcake. The retro pattern reminds me drive in movies and roller skating. That should date me a bit! Surrounded by a warm pumpkin orange, this piece is sure to make somebody happy!

Cupcake #83 **sold**


Wow, this is not a cupcake for those afraid of color! The orange and green really pop, even though they aren't true complementary colors, they are close enough to cause "vibration" between them. Red and green are the complements, but this green is bright and pure, and the orange is almost red, so like I said, not true opposites, but pretty darned close. Added to all this is a great coconut top with a beautifully painted bit of kiwi. This piece will be a knockout if you have a little dull spot or corner that needs some life! Have a great day!

Cupcake #54 **sold**


Wow, this is the first cupcake we've posted that is so, well, orange! Unashamedly orange, the color of those little tins of mandarin oranges. Actually, I think it is really quite pretty, and orange is the complementary color to blue, right color theory fans? This would look fabulous in a neutral setting, or on olive green, or if you have a kitchen like ours, simply full of color! This is one of those paintings that I will miss when it goes!

This cupcake, in addition to being perfectly gorgeous, is a great example for a little color theory lesson. We are all familiar with the primary color triad, being red, yellow, and blue. But this piece uses a secondary color triad, being green, orange, and purple. All of these colors are made by mixing two of the primaries together, and sit at equal distances from each other on the color wheel. That's what gives this piece such a nice sense of balance. Well that, and the fact that none of the blackberries are rolling off the top! A sweet addition to any collection!

Cupcake #14 **sold**


As a color theory junkie I am tempted to rave on about the triad used in this piece, or the stunning use of analogous discord. But I will resist (barely) and just say this is just so fresh and beautiful I can't help but stare. It would fit so well in a retro kitchen, a little girl's room, or smack in the middle of any soft neutral room, just to watch it sing. Can you tell I have a new favorite!?
