Okay, here's more candy. This is a pastel painting I did over the last week of chocolate and peach rings. The top is a little lighter than real life because of my easel lamp, but otherwise, it's very close to how it really looks.
I did this, because I just liked the idea of the really super-artifical and vibrant color candies on top of the more natural-looking chocolate. What I hadn't anticipated, but worked out well, was the really reflective quality of the chocolate.
Fingers still numb; it was very awkward to wear gloves while working on this, but I honestly think that my numb fingers are going to be a long-term thing. My appointment on July 15th isn't going to solve it, and somehow, I think I'm going to have to argue with a "live with it" mentality from the doctor. Because everytime I've had something wrong, that's what their opinion has been. "We can't figure it out, so live with it."

OMG!!! This is so photo-realistic, I am drooling all over my laptop!! Stunning job with the reflections, shadows and overall compostion!
YUM! your blog is wonderful...I'm glad I came! These chocolates and candies look good enough to eat. You did a great job. I absolutely love those highlights on the chocolates!!!!!
Hope your doctor is able to help with your numbness...or maybe it'll go away on it's own:)
This is great. I agree with you on the just something you'll have to live with. That happened with me almost everytime I went to see the "Docs" while I was in the military. There has to be a cause, so there sould be a cure or a way too manage it.
Wow...that chocolate rocks...like Teri I thought it was a photo! This is really well done!
On another note...I had numbing of my fingers on my right hand whenever I would do intensive drawing or calligraphy...It WAS carpal tunnel...correctly diagnosed by a neurologist. There is a simple(?) nerve conductivity test that can be done to determine the severity of the situation...it DID NOT go away on its own...eventually I did have surgery...felt like a new hand afterwards! Hope this helps?
