Debbie Miller
"Center of Attention" 5 Cupcakes with White Frosting and Red Sprinkles Pale Blue

2017

About the Item

"Center of Attention" Oil on Panel, 6 x 6 inches. Painting of Five Cupcakes with White Frosting and Red Sprinkles on a Pale Blue Background. Framed in Silver ( 11 x 11 Inches Framed Size) Beautifully painted in a luscious style reminiscent of Wayne Thiebaud's much more costly works, this series of individual or multiple cupcakes has both a Pop Art and traditional sensibility. At one point Miller set herself the fanciful goal of painting a cupcake a day and these charming paintings are as sophisticated, inventive, and accomplished as works of much higher value. They stand completely on their own or perfectly complement each when installed as a series. Some are on painted on canvas which require no framing, others are on panels which are sold framed in silver. Sale price includes frame cost where appropriate. Debbie (Gonville) Miller received her BFA in Illustration from Rhode Island School of Design in 1988. A Native Rhode Islander, she grew up in a home that encouraged creativity and being outside in nature as much as possible. Her evolution into an artist was inevitable. Since graduating from RISD, she has worked as a freelance artist, decorative painter, teacher and master artist at an international folk art company. In 2006 she made the transition back to her first love, oil painting, bringing to her art strong composition and a colorful illustrative style. Miller has had numerous exhibitions throughout New England and her paintings are in many collections in the United States, Canada, England, Germany and Norway.

"Strawberry Sundae" Large Photo Realist Ptg., Ice Cream Parfait & Whipped Cream
By Mary Ellen Johnson
Located in Wellesley, MA
Mary Ellen Johnson is internationally recognized as one of the top Photo Realist painters working today whose extraordinary area of expertise is large-scale, unimaginably realistic, stunningly beautiful and delightful images of food. Currently available are this gorgeous strawberry parfait sundae, a mouth-watering slice of cherry pie with vanilla ice cream, a delicious slice of cherry cheesecake and bowl of berries with whipped cream: Mary Ellen Johnson "Strawberry Sundae" 2018 Oil on Wood Panel 39.75 x 34.25 Inches Note: This painting is framed in dark wood. The artist has also completed many commissioned food paintings including the Canadian Government's request for images of 5 of Canada's favorite foods which subsequently became stamp images - and The Cheesecake Factory's two commissions for their corporate headquarters and the owners' Malibu beach house. A quote from the artist: “I make the panels large to give a monumental feeling to the painting when viewed. These large images not only confront the viewer with their size but with their tremendous sense of extravagance. My work explores the deep connection that food has with humanity.” Mary Ellen Johnson Johnson further describes herself as a ‘Precision Realist’ whose primary subject is food. Sold works include paintings of PB & J sandwiches, pancakes with blueberries and syrup, banana splits, ice cream, hot dogs, cupcakes, waffles, muscles and sushi, among others. Unequaled for their brilliance and dramatic depictions of mundane subjects with their connotations of nostalgia, comfort and tradition, it is also her scale, cropping and over the top technical skill that renders these works so overwhelmingly appealing!
