Love, love, love these. Yes. We could have entire conversations about the cool and the warm side of sugar dusting!!! And the jelly - oh, the delectable, satisfying jelly! Good going, girl! I am in awe. And the size?

That is the ultimate challenge.<br /><br />I like how you placed the stack right up front, really in your face. It definitely says temptation. The heavenly cool light from above, the crimson jelly, the shadow leading into the background... all act as a lure. But then we are reminded of risk of giving in to this temptation by the instability of the stack.<br />It is more than a mere painting of donuts.<br /><br />Keep painting...David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-86568223582180378642013-12-21T23:07:54.328-08:002013-12-21T23:07:54.328-08:00These doughnuts are superb Suzanne!!!
