Mini Paintings - Inspired by some of my favorite famous paintings....



Hi Everyone...

On our vacation I had thought about messing around with some mini-paintings....

and you know I had to incorporate cupcakes in them some how...lol

So here are the ink sketches...I will be painting these and posting them in colour....






These are a tribute to some of my all time favorites.....
  • Picasso - "Woman with Book" in my case it is "Woman with cupcake"
  • Grant Wood - "American Gothic" in my case they pierced a cupcake with the fork
  • Leonardo Da Vinci - "Mona Lisa" in my case I created 2....she is one of my favorites....she is waiting to eat her cupcake...
  • Rene Magritte - "Son of Man" I always picture a cupcake instead of the green apple on this one...
  • Edward Munch - "The Scream" ...something I always do when I see a great cupcake...

Well I hope these brought a smile to your day....

Who are some of your favorite painters and pieces...I would love to know...

Thanks for popping in and saying hello!

Hugs

Diana
