A Donut - Commission Painting

One of my final commissions in 2023 was a donut painting. (image below) 

It seems like an appropriate subject for today, New Years Day, a day of both celebration and new health resolutions. This painting is 8 x 10 acrylic on panel and it was really fun to paint. 

I started by buying a donut and making a few sketches of different views. (image below) 

I knew that I would be changing the sprinkles on the frosting in the painting and the colors, to be more in line with what my client wanted.

I delivered it 3 days before Christmas to a very happy client.
