Sistak Baur Art and Artful Discoveries

Sweet Buns

If you love bread or rolls, as I do, this painting will “talk” to you. The roundness of the bread and sweet rolls is what intrigues me about this painting. It measures 14” x 11” and will easily fit into the smaller walls of a kitchen or hall. ©2007 Barbara Sistak Baur

Strawberry Pastries

This is the painting that started it all – it is the first one I did in this series. I was so delighted with the result, that I haven’t stopped yet. This painting, by the way, won an award ribbon at a recent Northwest Area Arts Council art show. It is 16”x24”. ©2007 Barbara Sistak Baur

Lemon or Cherry?

Decisions, decisions--why not both? I did this painting because the stacks and stacks of cookies were so tempting. I didn’t know which to pick myself so I painted the lot of them. This painting is 14”x11.” ©2007 Barbara Sistak Baur

Chocolate Chip Pan Cookies

When I was kid, I loved cookies like this at lunch time. They were warm from the oven and gooey in the center with melted chips. I can still taste 'em. This painting is 12”x9” and is offered at $300. ©2007 Barbara Sistak Baur

Fruit and Eggs

Okay, so this is not a bakery. But it is just as luscious. This artwork is really about roundish shapes – very large ones (watermelons) down to the very small ones (grapes). And there is a delicious variety in between. This is a bright, larger painting that would be fabulous is a spacious kitchen. It measures 48”x36”. Because the canvas wraps around the sides, a frame is not needed nor desired. It is offered at $500. ©2007 Barbara Sistak Baur

All of the paintings in this exhibition were inspired by a visit to a delightful bakery with a bountiful offering. I hope you enjoy them as much I did as I painted them.

Ready to hang -- All the paintings (unless noted) are framed with beautiful contemporary frames that showcase the artwork. Sleek and basic black, they are compatible with any décor.

All paintings are acrylic.
