More on Aretha next, but one of my colleagues, Ed, wanted to see me do some miniature paintings of pastries from my favorite local bakery, Brooklyn Bread, so here is a "Kiwi Berry Tart" for someone's lucky sweetheart! Mmmmm.........

This looks delicious!!! I can almost taste it. The kiwi looks so juicy..... I may have to go get one or two later...
This painting blows me away. The tart is smaller than a penny and has so much details. What kind of brushes do you use? Do you make your own?
Thank you Akiko. I feel the same way about your delightful paintings!
Thanks too for your question about my brushes. I have not heard of anyone making their own. Do you?
I'll share some brush information with everyone in one of my posts next week, but for this tart miniature I used three round pointed brushes: Utrecht triple zero sable series 221, Windsor Newton triple zero Series 7 Miniature sable, and Silver Ultra Mini 20/0 synthetic.
Mona thanks for sharing the info. I'm not familiar with Utrecht or Windsor Newton Series 7, but have one Silver Ultra Mini 12/0 Comb. Looking forward to more info next week. :)
Wow, Mona, AMAZING job!
Thanks, Ed.
Oh my goodness, Mona!
I don't think people realize how impossible this painting should be.
It is ridiculously small. I have no idea how you drew this let alone painted it.
You must have super tiny brushes and a large magnifying glass!
Great job on this little guy!
