Melting Sundae
Painting this from life was a lot like painting a sunset from life... If I had it to do over, I would have made sure that ice cream was SUPER COLD and not barely frozen! It all happened so quickly...

gorgeous, at your usual best. Lots of emotion.
Thank you Tim... You are easier on my that yourself - that's for sure!
Sumptuously alluring painting! Love the build up of texture and the moderate color palette.
Thanks for the comments Jennifer! This one turned out more stark or abstract than I had planned. I began to enjoy the overall shape though and went with it.
I really like it. You obviously drew on your technical skills to react quickly and capture the moment. Those paintings are the best. Bravo!
Thanks Ed...
Working rapidly give a that great energetic feeling to a painting... or sometimes it gives you that "you weren't fast enough look"!!
Always love the challenge though...
Thanks again.
looks like you enjoy a challenge.
although quit abstract,the darkness makes it look like the old dutch masters,great feel to your work Eric
Well I do enjoy a challenge - but this was just a lack of foresight! This is much darker than I'm used to painting... I used black velvet material under the still life... it stays nice and dark - not reflecting much light.
Thanks Rob!
