Room For Dessert by Mary Beth Brath
Room For Dessert by Mary Beth Brath
5x5" Acrylic on Acrylic Paper
Many changes going on with me lately. I am preparing for a very special show that will open just 3 days before my birthday in July. I have been a dreamer since birth. My elementary report cards prove it in the teacher comments section. A dream without action is nothing. A dream with passion and constant perseverance becomes reality...in July.
I completed this painting yesterday in one sitting. Yes...it is another "bedroom" painting and is a part of my Confections series. I photographed the cheesecake quite a while ago, but pulled up the reference photo in order to add it to the still life yesterday. I have always wanted to paint pictures of my early 1900's Art Pottery. This was so fun. This series has been like self portraits for me.
The story unfolds as July approaches...

Most of my Confections series paintings are currently at the 2nd Floor Gallery in Mechanicsburg.

Corner of the Bedroom by Mary Beth Brath
Corner of the Bedroom
4x4" Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Holbein Water Soluble Oils
This is a quick study using Holbein Watersoluble Oils. I was not feeling well last week and I decided to get some painting done while resting. The picture hanging on the wall is of another one of my own paintings. The jewelry box was my Mother's and the vase is 1920's Art Pottery in my favorite color. In the left corner is my guitar...no, I don't know how to play, but would love to learn. Really this little painting is a self portrait.

Just a Sliver by Mary Beth Brath
Just a Sliver
8x10" Acrylic on Canvas
#3 of the Confections Series
This could have been titled "A Few Of My Favorite Things" since it includes my favorite magazine, cheesecake and a plate my husband bought for me while traveling in Southern France. Yes, this is another painting in my bedroom series.
Yesterday I bought another cheesecake "wheel" and took my reference photos before my family enjoyed a slice. I have so many paintings in progress already, but can't wait to start my next "sliver".
