It's time to prepare more wood panels for art. To prepare wood panels, first they are cut to size; second, a notch in put in one side for hanging; third, they are sanded on all sides.  Finally, each panel is gessoed and sanded three or four times with a 24-hour dry time between each layer of gesso drying.  Then they are ready for the first layer of paint.  :D

I have been painting cupcakes inspired by treats from my  local bakery, Standard Market.   And really loving the fluffy frostings and cute decorations on top of each one.  

Dark chocolate is one of my favorite treats.  I found a new brand called Antidote, which has many flavors with interesting combinations like this dark chocolate with almonds and fennel seeds. I love dark chocolate, which is actually lower in sugar and has some health benefits.  I focus on the health benefits when I want a little treat.  It does have some fat, but it's a treat.  So I don't mind a little bit.
