Bay Area painter Wayne Thiebaud gives "food for thought" a whole new meaning š„§šš°š
Best known for his paintings of cakes, pies and candies, the nostalgic element that Thiebaud brings out in work like "The Buffet" leaves you wanting more.
Why do we find comfort and familiarity in work like this? Is it the same feeling we get sitting at the dinner table on Thanksgiving surrounded by loved ones?
The way Thiebaud uses different hues of blue and paints the highlights and shadows in pieces like "The Buffet" brings out a radiance that give the feeling of blissfully creating a core memory.
