Something very different

Every once in a while I feel like changing things up. This time I decided to paint a still life and my brother's photo of his "perfect waffle" fit the bill. This acrylic painting was painted on a 20" X 16" stretched canvas. I'm considering titling this piece "Breakfast for Dinner" since my brother actually ate this waffle for dinner.😄

I tried a different method for this one, using different shades of gesso to create a monochrome underpainting. It...didn't work out too well and gave me a lot of trouble. Well, at least I learned what not to do. Acrylic paint is very forgiving, so it turned out just fine - it just took a long time to get right.
 
I plan to take a better photo when I have better lighting. I may do some touch-ups on it later as well.
