In previous posts I was demonstrated my process on the WWII rations painting. While sections of that piece were drying, I completed this cookie painting below. I typically have two paintings in progress at the same time to give myself something to work on if the other needs time to dry.
The Oreo interests me because it's an iconic brand that dates back all the way to 1912; I believe the version and styling of the Oreo as we know it came about in the early 1950's.
It fascinates me how a simple, manufactured food item has become such a common part of society for so many generations. My goal with this piece was to capture it's iconic beauty by painting the face of a single Oreo in great detail. I also paired it with an original Krazy Straw and glass of milk. For additional interest and perhaps a bit of suspense, I balanced the cookie on the lip of the glass.
