I did this painting for a CALC chocolate theme art show. The word "chocolate" immediately got my "juices flowing". I took my camera to The PA Bakery in Camp Hill, explained my mission and took several pictures of various chocolate baked goods. I bought some to have the real thing in front of me while I painted [my excuse]. I decided to paint the tray of cookies. My inspiration was that they looked like they were moving, jostling for position on that tray. I try to create the feeling of motion in my still life paintings, a little excitement, so as not to appear staid or dead. I titled this painting, "Hey, Get In Line Like the Rest of Us".
PS I finished eating the cookies way before I finished the painting and in fact, remained hungry the entire time I worked on it.

Wonderful painting! The title and the idea that the cookies are struggling to get in line complete the package. What fun!
Cecelia, This is a fun painting and a even funnier story to go with it. You achieved your goal of motion. And made me hungry as well!
Cecelia, first of all I wanted to say "Welcome to the group". But this painting is a riot -- PERFECT title! At this time of year, with so many lines for so many things, it just made me chuckle. Very nice job!
Thank you everyone--It's such fun being part of a group who "get" what strange and silly things can sometimes go through our heads.
Can I say...'yummylicious'??? This is great, and I love the title and the movement in your set-up. I just drive by the Pennsylvania Bakery and drool...their baked goods are positively decadent!
