Delicious ..Cinnamon Bun

It is the simple indulgences in life that set us apart…that make us human…just think of the hot cup of coffee or tea, and the warm, softly glazed cinnamon bun waiting on a pretty plate at tea time or any time for that matter….I have placed mine simply on a mat….cut into it…pass a generous slice of it to your partner…there is enough for both….savour the sweet cinnamony goodness as it yields to your knife…Aah ...
Did you know that October the 4th is Cinnamon Bun day in Sweden?...great idea I think….
“*Cinnamon Bun” is the 5th painting in the “Delicious” Collection…Watercolour on Arches Paper..

this is fantastic,,,,,,,,,,,,amazing,........I can smell it…...........
Janis Zroback replied
I can too.. :)) I looked at it when I was finished this afternoon and the scent wafted up to me…funny huh? I just love painting food… it is so satisfying..
I understand what Cezanne meant whe he said “I will astonish Paris with an apple”...
I’m so glad you like it too…more pastry coming soon….thanks so much KJ…
Avril Brand
Oh I must be careful or I will be dribbling all over the keyboard!! This is better than the real thing! So close and yet so deliciously far!
Janis Zroback replied
Oh don’t do that Avril…go out and buy some or better yet make some… :)) baking is so good for the soul…my family have to eat up what I make for painting and they’re not complaining…
I’m glad you like it..the links to the others in the series, are on the right..thanks so much…
ANNETTE HAGGER
this looks good enough to eat ! ............this looks like a photo Janis !..anna ; )
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Anna…all of my food series are on the realistic side…I get carried away as I love it so much…but it’s all by hand in watercolour….painstaking, but so satisfying and peaceful to do..
Janis Zroback
Cinnamon is ground and used in baking,
Made from the bark of an evergreen tree,
A gift for kings in years gone by,
An everyday occurrence for me. from Spices by Nakmeister
Linda Callaghan
another delicious one Janis…when are you opening your pastry shop? lol ....looking forward to the rest
Janis Zroback replied
That’s been open for years. :)) only for friends are family though…and everything in it is free…lol..
Thank you so much for all your support Linda…I’m really pleased that you like the series..
everascot
You are a temptress….....LOL….........!!!! How on earth do you produce such great results so quickly, you’re a “Super Artist” in more ways than one it seems.
Janis Zroback replied
It’s painting everyday that does it…when my family are gone, I settle down to paint…I take breaks in between to take care of everything else, but I’m a fairly fast painter too… :))
Thank you so much for your lovely comment…I really appreciate all your support of this series…
coppertrees
You must of smelled my bread!!! great job
Janis Zroback replied
So nice to see you Vickie…I was thinking about you….I now speak to my computer instead of typing…it’s so nice and easy…I dislike typing as it takes too long..maybe you should look into it…it will save your hands for sure…
I’m so glad you like the painting…thank you so much.
sulaartist
Yummy ! I want to eat it now :)
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Sula…you will have to go and get some…I’m too far away to give you one of mine… :))
Solomon Walker
a perfect bun for joyous occasions!
Janis Zroback replied
I agree, but you can also indulge for no reason at all…I’m glad you like it…thank you so much Solomon…

catherine walker
It’s so beautiful and so delicious looking ..I don’t know how you do that ..
you’re as sweet as this picture janis..
xxoxoo
Janis Zroback replied
I’m so pleased that you stopped by to comment on the new series Catherine…these portraits are not just pictures of food, but is also a commentary on how far we have come in Western culture….by placing the focus on the bun, we are talking about not only about food, but indulgence, passion, sensuousness, love, everything that makes us human…of course it’s also a pretty picture, and the collection would look great all grouped together…thank you so much for the lovely compliment Catherine…
Corinne Pouzet
Oh wow ! I want one like that NOW ! it makes my mouth water…Janis this is so beautifully done….
Awesome painting and instant fav
Janis Zroback replied
I am so thrilled you like it Corinne…I was going to paint the icing as poured over it, and I changed my mind…I thought it looked just right this way….paintings like this one evokes the passion we feel for good food…all the best feelings rise up within us and that is a good thing…thank you so much for choosing it as a favourite…I really appreciate it.
Karin Taylor
that’s the nicest cinnamon bun i’ve ever seen in my life Janis!! I am soooooo hungry now!
Janis Zroback replied
It’s the best recipe I’ve got in my files too..you make it in a large muffin tin….I’m really pleased you like it Karin…thanks so much.
Jim Phillips
I can actually smell it. I’ve got to quit looking at these so late and start viewing them earlier. I don’t need to snack right before I go to bed. Gorgeous!
Janis Zroback replied
KJ said the same…he could smell it…
I want to evoke all these feelings in the viewer…great memories….mother’s baking when you were a kid, times out with the family at a favourite restaurant, etc. or it may just be a feeling of happiness…. during these hard economic times, we need as many good feelings as possible…this is not the time for nightmarish images, at least I won’t be paintitng any…
Painting these portraits make me feel good and I’m so happy it makes you feel good too…looking at them earlier might be a good idea…however the latest studies say that as far as weight watching is concerned, it does not matter when you eat, as long as you consume the same amount of calories each day….so eating late at night won’t harm you, though depending on what it is it might give you heart burn if you lie down right afterwards…
Thanks so much Jim for all your support….I am so happy that you like the series and come by to let me know…

Joanne Bradley
The smells are bringing back memories of my mom bent over the family oven with this delicious smell permeating the whole house! Cinnamon, can there be a smell fmore reminiscent of childhood and security! And remember the days when we would slater on real butter…
Janis Zroback replied
I just love cinnamon buns…I did not grow up with them but was introduced to them when I came here to university…there is a place in Toronto called Michel’s Baguettes that make the best in the city (besides homemade)...they are large, soft, and not too sweet…two people can share one easily..thanks for sharing your memories Joanne…
