I blame this on Paris Breakfasts, this resuscitated interest in painting desserts. Oh yes, I did petits fours in February and why not, it was Food Month. But seeing all that chocolate recently on Carol's blog made me start seeing the world through sugar-coated eyes. That and the fact that I'm about to begin a new foodie project that I'm excited about (more about that later.)
So, I give you cream danish, with kiwi, pear, and peach, on a doily. (Please scroll down, for some reason.) Don't tell me one danish doesn't make a still life. You're thinking of one swallow and a summer. 
I love the way you left some of the page unpainted. The danish is perfectly loose and detailed at the same time! Wow!

Well, thanks to one and all! This pastry came from a local German bakery where the ingredients used are only of the highest order--- and thank heavens for it, I say!

So this is what happens when David Hockney meets Wayne Thiebaud for breakfast, and they're too busy enjoying the pastry to paint/draw. Thank goodness you were lurking and could channel them both.
Darn it, my Sweet Hubby has no sweet tooth, and now I want to go to a bakery and get pastry for brunch...

So much for my bagel breakfast, now I'm headed for the bakery. This looks edible! Brava!
