30 Days Of Creative Practice Day 2 Breakfast

I am having fun (so far) with my self-imposed, thirty day, practicing creativity challenge. Today's word is BREAKFAST. What I am learning so far is that one word can sure conjure up a lot of ideas, which I love and is hopefully one of the outcomes--the ability to think of LOTS of different ideas. 

For today's challenge I started with this Norwegian wood tray that honestly, I have had for years. The saying on it means, "Here you go".  My idea was to paint breakfast on the wood tray in a cartoon style rather than a tromp l'oeil style.

After painting the wood tray blue, I chalked out a design and then painted it white.

I then played with colors and shading, painting in an exaggerated manner.

I finished the piece with a heavy coat of Minwax Polyacrylic. This piece would be great hanging on a wall or use it to serve up croissants or pastries. It also would be playful sitting on a dining room table that is often used.

 The word for June 3rd is OPPOSITE, June 4th is TIME, and JUNE 5th is FLOWERS.
