"Hot Fudge Sundae"

My wife and I ate the painting's inspiration...it was so goood! Thankfully, I took pictures first from which to finish the piece.

Whipped cream, ice cream, hot fudge have all been replaced on my menu with organic yogurt...so, this was a rare treat, indeed. (I have been known to have the occasional shake...shhhh, don't tell anyone.)

I should note that this painting was originally inspired by a March challenge on the Calypso Moon Artist Movement blog. I didn't make the deadline. I put the finishing touches on the painting yesterday. (The sundae was purchased at a nearby Red Robin Restaurant.)
