Seaside Cupcake Painting

Yesterday I started out thinking I was going to be working on a "Plain Jane Cupcake",  when my painting took a different direction.  I usually start out with a pretty clear picture in my head of what I want, but as I started picking out colors and applying them to the canvas, I realized these colors were more suited to a "Seaside Cupcake".  This idea just popped into my head and here are the results.   I listed it on eBay last night for those of you who are interested in the original.



Tiny bubbles pour out of the mouths of cute little fish accenting the top of this tropical cupcake. What a cute cupcake painting for your seaside cottage retreat!


A brown and aqua dotted ribbon is wrapped around the edges of the canvas and ties in a bow at the top.



I finished my crochet rose pillow:


I'm not sure where it will go because I don't have any pink in my house. I'm sure I'll figure it out though.

    Love your summery seaside cupcake! The colors are wonderful.
    I also love how your pink pillow turned out, it's so pretty! I could think of a lot of places to put that in my home. :)

    Catherine, love your cupcake, it is fabulous. I know, this happens to me as well, sometimes I start out with a picture in my mind of what I want to do and then when I sit down to work on it, things change for me and I go in another direction altogether. I love your cupcake and pillow.
