Frosting the Cake

After work, I came straight home and painting on the new painting, entitled Frosting the Cake.  It took a while to get the initial layer of paint on - kept having to re-work parts!  First I had the hand too big, then the cake was too small - now it's looking pretty good, still in progress, obviously, but here it is.  It's 11 X 14 and I'm painting on linen canvas, which has become my favorite surface.  This one is stretched canvas, and I recently purchased a set of three linen canvas panels.  I also really like the firm surface.
