Tie Dye Toaster-sold




















oil on canvas panel 6x6 inches

Here's my "paint your toaster" entry to the DPW challenge. I have never owned a pop-up toaster. This toaster oven has toasted for us since 1974. As for the color reflections....uh....I was wearing my tie dye T-shirt. It seemed fitting on the '74 toaster so I went with it and just had fun.

  2. Too fun! First that you have an appliance that lasted since 1974? And second that you rocked a tie dye tee shirt and got those amazing reflections. Love it all!! Gotta love the detail of the cord plugged in! Suhweet!!

  4. The coppery colored bowls are a nice, warm accent against the cools of the toaster. Great composition. Must be a dang good toaster to last so long. Love the story and the painting.
