Wayne Thiebaud (1920-2021) was an American artist from California who painted objects that you’d see everyday. He often painted desserts and sweet treats. His desserts are recognized because he uses thick paint and bright or pastel colors (tints= colors mixed with white). He wanted people to have a sense of humor and smile or laugh a little when looking at his art. Which dessert is your favorite?
