So Enchantment<\/em> came about after I painted Tempting Fruit<\/em> <\/a>earlier this year. I loved the way that the chocolate cupcake in that painting just seemed like an over the top amalgam of all the wiley ways it could look like a tempting treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That painting made me think of other romantic gardens. So of course it was a short step from Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights<\/em> to Fragonard’s french rococo garden in The Swing<\/em>. Prior to painting Enchantment<\/em> I baked and frosted several cupcakes, really going for an over the top frothy look for the cupcake like the heroine in Fragonard’s The Swing<\/em>. From there I painted Cupcake Digest<\/a><\/em>, to study the cupcake in isolation prior to placing it in a larger environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had two ways to go with my inspiration to create a Fragonard inspired banquet piece in my food series with the little pink pear. I could either couch my food actors in a landscape or I could create an entirely domestic\/still life version of The Swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to do both: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch my blog to see the landscape version in my Earthly Delights<\/a> project, It’s currently on the easel and should be finished soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Enchantment<\/em> I decided to explore that domestic setting because I really loved the potential for changing the perspective in the typical still life setting from something observed at a safe distance, and from slightly above, to one closer to the viewpoint of one of the still life objects, or of a bugs eye view. What was contained in the picture plane now contains the picture plane. It’s not a separate world, it is the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
