About this work

This painting shows five bright yellow cupcakes with drizzled frosting in blue wrappers. Above them is a big, round pink blob that looks like a sun or a balloon. The background is mostly soft pink with some messy brushstrokes and drips. The cupcakes are drawn with simple lines and a little shading, while the pink blob is bold and smooth. The mix of messy and clean feels intentional. Check out Karen Heagle to see more of her playful, bold style.
