While my own painting has become a torturous affair, it was fun to read about Wayne Thiebaud and see his paintings. Especially this one. Much as I try, I have lost the ability to talk about art in any meaningful, intellectual way. Know what I love about this painting? The giggle inducing, roller coaster ride of the swoop and sway of the lines and the way the electric-ey purple color hugs the green. Don't you just want to lay your cheek up against those two colors and feel the vibration? And then the way that sharp vee of cool/hot green, purple and blue rise up to just tip touch the yellow. Delicious painting (no pun or play on all those cupcakes of his.)
