Oil on Board. Approx 8"x4" SOLD
I tried to be a lot more brushy with this one. I think that added to the thickness of the peanut butter. It was weird, when I built up the peanut butter color it kinda felt like I was smearing the real thing. I think I'm starting to crack up, maybe? It's the lack of sleep with the new born. Lucy is almost 6 weeks old and looking more cute then ever.

Critical life changes can provide that extra nudge, and it certainly seems Lucy's appearance has sparked soemthing! This is wonderful -
Oh this looks good enough to eat. I used to eat one every day for lunch when I was in my youth.
I took peanut butter & jelly for lunch every day for 12 years. My parents tried to get me to change, but I didn't see a need to, so I didn't.
That jelly looks so amazingly real. It has the perfect gloss and texture. The peanut butter looks a mile thick (as it should be). Nice to see a version open faced.
Michael, Maybe you have already answered this question, but what kind of board are you working on?
Is it gessoed panel?
I'm in love with your work!!!
I haven't bought a jar of peanut butter in nearly two decades. My 17-year-old daughter won't eat it. I can't even hide it in a cookie. Your painting seems so real that I think I might have to buy a jar of Jif!
Congrats on the birth or your little Lucy. Can't wait to see her first portrait.
This looks so tasty, I actually want to go and make myself one just like that.
great work I love it all.
I myself think it is great fun painting/drawing objects such as this, mostly fruit and flowers. You do such a wonderful job at making everything look so real.
