Got frustrated and ate my subject

Originally uploaded by angrypirate.

I thought I’d paint some iconic junk food from my childhood. I bought

some twinkies. Maybe it would have been a good painting but I started

with an awkward composition. I quickly got frustrated with it and ate

the subject. Now what am I going to paint? Please, no more junk food.

Maybe I should paint healthfood. Or maybe avoid food all together and go

for something like sports equipment. How about a food scale, or some

rice crackers. A tape measure. A weight scale. A jack lelane

trampoline.
