Sugar Cookies

9x12 watercolor and ink vignette on paper of a cookie making session, with star shaped cookie cutter and wooden rolling pin. I used alphabet letters for ink stamping when paint dried.  Raw sienna, quinacridone gold, Coastal Fog, Grumbacher true red, UB, and white gouache used.  For the flour marks I left the white of the paper.  A New Year's resolution was to stop eating sweets but I'm dreaming of baking and lasted only about 10 hours before eating cookies.
