First, there were the macarons. Then, there were the cupcakes. Now, there are the cheesecakes. My hubby and mom tell me that I do floral still life the best. However, I have this weird fascination for food still life. I am a certified foodie. However, I do have to watch my weight. I guess, if I can not eat them all... I might as well paint them. A visual feast, yummy!

Sweet Equation

EMOVERE of the moment: MACARONNED!

*almond powder+eggs whites+powdered sugar = MACARON

*teapot+teacup+macarons = DELIGHTFUL PAINTING

These gastronomic and visual feasts are such sweet equations!

Ganache filling sandwiched between two thin macaron shells, a truly delicious treat. I've been craving for these sweets. The only local patisserie here in Manila that offers macarons is Bizu. To starve off the craving, I decided to paint them. Wonder which is a more delightful experience...viewing or eating them? :)

EMOVERE of the moment: WATERCOLOURED!

This is my first blog post. The image is also my first watercolor attempt after 10 (or more) years. As I was thinking of hobby to while my time away, watercolor painting came to mind. It is still leaning on the creative side, minus the technicalities of architecture. I've dabbled in acrylic painting last year. After the 7 month break from acrylic painting, I will put my "talent" to a test. To produce soft yet vivid images will be the ultimate goal. I do hope I achieved that one in this painting. Though acrylic and watercolor employs the same application technique, one has to be very careful with watercolor. With acrylic, you could correct your errors with a new coat of color. With watercolor, proper color layering is a must.

EMOVERE is the Latin word that means - "to move greatly" or "to take away". In English, it translate to EMOTIONS. I will be posting images and scenes both seen and dreamed by me!
