'WE ATE THE ECLAIR'
I bought an eclair and some take-out Chinese dinner. I was going to paint the eclair the next day, but we ate it, so I painted the fortune cookie instead. My friend offered me some little plastic critters for models. I liked the snake.

'REFLECTION'
My objective in this painting was too find what was most visually interesting to me, in viewing the posed model and frame that as my composition. I had to ignore some very wild high heel shoes in order to do this!
