I made this because it relates to my childhood version of an American breakfast because my parents didn’t have enough time to make a meal but they wanted me and my siblings to eat something hot, so they started buying those to heat up in the morning. I used bright colors and bubble words to make seem childish and represent my childhood experience. I trouble with painting it but I learned that it was easier to layer on the darker colors first then the light ones which helped me create more depth in the painting.
