Simply yummy!
ReplyDeleteSimply delicious and love how the suggestion of party goers/birthday person are painted :)
ReplyDeleteNice one! I love the combination of the sketchy cake and those shadowy people in the background...
ReplyDeletelove the cake! very cool silhouettes in the background.
ReplyDeleteI like the ghostly quality of the people, making the cake central and most important. As it should be. *G*

thanks - I am glad that you liked the party on the background - I felt that it might be something you in particular would catch and enjoy - not all people who actually saw this noticed people :)

Happy B-Day!
I think that people are from the dark side - they might be not from this world - yes, long gone - yes, may be even never existing - but I don't think that they are mean and dark :)

I was thinking about making the cake more detailed at first but I think it would not work with the background-group idea - too much difference...

thanks!

thanks for your comment. I thought of a cake being a "thing of the moment" on B-Day. It's a silence of the moment just before all candles are blown - when cake really gets all attention :)
I defintely see this as the opposite of simple. A "Happy Birthday" often leads us to ponder our mortality...the shades in the background make me think of people who are gone... the slice of cake is like a slice of life. I'm probably reading too much into this... Anyway, I love the watercolor technique!

ReplyDeleteI have to aadmit that I am scared to admit to which degree you are right about this piece - but I still think that this is a very simple thing :)
