This open-edition print is based on the largest trompe l'oeil cookie landscape I've painted to date, "Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." The original painting is 48" x 36". Since there are a lot of details in the original, I've decided I can only offer the print at 15" x 20". This is the largest size I can print in my studio; any smaller and the details get lost. To create this painting, I first spent a week designing, baking and decorating a real-life gingerbread/cookie/frosting model, then dedicated almost 400 hours to painting a picture of it. It was the most complex painting I've ever done, but also one of the happiest! I hope you'll take note of not just the happy colors and whimsy of the design, but the six little animals hidden in the piece, and the various Lucky Charms cereal pieces and Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces (each of which I painted individually, hundreds and hundreds of them, to contribute to the convincing trompe l'oeil appearance of the painting). The painting shows a great deal of diversity in this gingerbread neighborhood -- in home designs, pets and even the three different "oak" trees, which were originally cookies decorated with dry Lucky Charms cereal mixed with green frosting; oak trees are symbolic in America because we have so many different varieties of oaks across the country. The title is also a shout-out to Mister Rogers, of course, a fellow Pittsburgh native who inspired me to look for the good in the world. You can learn more about the entire process for creating this painting in my three-part series on my blog, MakingHappyArt.com, or check out some of my process videos on my TikTok, https://www.tiktok.com/@kimtestoneartist.
