Professionally framed in a contemporary white floater frame. Based on a real-life sugar cookie, pretzel, ice cream cone and frosting model that I baked and decorated and then replicated with acrylic paint in the trompe l'oeil style. This means that the painting is virtually flat, but painted in a way that looks amazingly three-dimensional and highly realistic in its details. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Sing\" was inspired by a small family of birds that regularly nests on my porch. While I tried to stop them for a few years, deterring them with shiny objects, I eventually came to the realization that having them is a gift. I get to see the new baby birds learn to fly and sing each year, and they've become quite comfortable dancing around near my feet when I'm outside. I like to think that this painting serves as a whimsically-styled reminder to always look for the good and appreciate the little things in life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of my pieces from this series, I ultimately think \"Sing\" stands for hope. Using cookies and frosting as the base design elements allows an easier entry point for viewers to enjoy and thoughtfully consider the work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out my video of the \u003ca href=\"design%20and%20painting%20process%20on%20TikTok\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Design and painting process for the trompe l'oeil cookie foodscape painting Sing by Kim Testone\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edesign and painting process for \"Sing,\"\u003c\/a\u003e as well as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kimtestoneartist\/video\/7597537393436085534\" title=\"Side views of the cookie trompe l'oeil paintings by Kim Testone.\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emy TikTok video showing some of the side views of some of my cookie trompe l'oeil paintings\u003c\/a\u003e, proving the pieces are flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions?
