Original soft pastel · 18×13.5”
Four friends sit with their backs to us, facing the water, plates of cake balanced in their hands like it is the most ordinary and important thing in the world. Meanwhile, the title does two jobs at once, and only one of them involves frosting. Color sits loose and warm on the paper—green against coral, pink against the blue of the horizon—so the whole scene feels like late afternoon when the heat has finally eased and no one is in a hurry to leave.
This is a small, specific kind of happiness: not the big announcement kind, just cake, salt air, and the people who already know how you take your coffee. The figures stay turned away on purpose. You don’t need their faces. You already know the feeling.
Ready for a 2" mat (outer matted size 22 × 17.5") and whatever frame you choose.
This is a one-of-a-kind original, signed by me. It's ready to ship, carefully packed, anywhere in the US. Questions about a piece? Email me at chadwick.mclaren@gmail.com.
