That’s right, you heard me! These yummy little bits of heaven by Mouth Party Caramels are the BOMB! Everytime I would stop by one of my local haunts that sell these I would have to grab one (or 2, sometimes 3) for the road. Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of redesigning their website. Seriously people… how can I design a website about caramels without eating them constantly (ha ha! Delish!) My company (and day job) Graphic Essentials is pleased to announce the launching of Mouth Party Caramel’s new website, so check it out….  mouthpartycaramel.com My all-time favorites are the Sea Salt Caramels and the OMG! Caramels (because once you taste it, there are no other words).

You must get some of your own and decide for yourself if indeed they ARE… Better than Sex!

Beef on weck with horseradish and a little au jus. Ahhhh.. Now that would appease my appetite.

Where rabbit’s talk, tea is poured, the mad reign and magical things happen. Speaking of magic… sometimes I get so lost in painting I forget how I got to the end. I usually have some music blaring, my mind tends to wander and then before you know it, hours have passed. So I took some photos of this one along the way. Looking at these now it seems like Alice here took a long time to do, but to me… hmmm… where did the time go? Tick tock. Below is the progression for you to see.

Was there a fox in Wonderland? I think so.

Got nothin’ to say today… just soaking up the sun. Hope you are too. (insert smiley emoticon here.)

The whole time I was working on this toddler’s portrait I couldn’t help but sing Blind Melon’s No Rain… “All I can say is my life is pretty plain…”

This is a portrait of a child. I found her on etsy… Can’t exactly remember the shop but it sold children’s clothing and accessories. She was so cute I had to give painting her a try.
