When my friend Isabel suggested I do a series of etegami depicting baked goods, I was intrigued, because it was something new for me and I had no idea if I could do it. I found inspiration by browsing through her food photos (she's a gifted cook). It turns out baked goods are kind of hard to paint, partly because everything tends to be in shades of brown. I did my best, but failed to do justice to the food that modeled for me. Of course, Etegami is not about perfection; it's about having fun and making other people happy. So I'm okay with the results. Painting the baked goods is a lot less fattening than eating it, but my stomach did growl a lot. ;p
