I never get tired of painting pb&js! This week’s painting features a nostalgic nod to comfort food – this piece captures the joyful chaos of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in all its gooey glory. Sliced diagonally and atop one another, the sandwich oozes with rich peanut butter and vibrant jelly, set atop a vivid turquoise plate that makes the colors pop. Dramatic, directional lighting creates striking contrast and bold shadows, adding intensity to an otherwise playful scene.

This week’s painting captures the cozy warmth of a winter treat: a turquoise cup and saucer holding a steaming cup of hot cocoa. The drink is topped with a few fluffy marshmallows, while a couple of them rest casually on the table in the foreground… A gentle, broken light streams through a window on the right, softly illuminating the subjects and casting playful highlights and shadows while the background and foreground feature a subtle texture.

This week’s painting features the anticipation of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the making. A jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly, and two thick slices of freshly baked bread sit next to a butter knife, illuminated by a soft and warm lighting that highlights only the subjects. The background contrasts with hints of textured deep turquoise and crimson in the shadows, creating a moody atmosphere.
