Summer Daze
By Marianne Bartuccelli of Tastefully Yours Cake Art
Inspiration Artwork
This is a very easy and organic design . It depicts the melting heat of the summer sun here in Australia and the cool blue water of the sea . Patterns of summer beach dwellers with their towels and swimsuits , the tropical fish of our reef and the pylons of the pier ….. and even our abundant insect life get included …. The upright placement of the smaller top tier adds a great modern twist to this abstract design . All the painting is done with royal icing . Very stiff consistency will give you great texture , and thinning down with water will give a more fluid paint . Try your own version of my design - change the colours , and above all , have some fun !
My inspiration art is from an American artist named Emily Rickard . I love the name of her artwork that I based my design on - it is called ‘ Eternal Optimist ’.
