Chocolate paintings? Apparently chocolatier Jeff Shepherd of Lillie Belle Farms Hand Made Chocolates likes to unwind by creating small paintings made from chocolate.

“I dont have much time to paint large canvases anymore, so when the pressure of owning and running a small business gets to me I can just make a few, small white chocolate canvases and relax for a few minutes by painting whatever comes to mind.”

The paintings are made entirely from chocolate products, and although small in scale, they depict landscapes, seascapes, and portraits. You can view some examples of Jeff’s edible artworks here.

If you would like to see some of Jeff’s pieces in person, they will be on display during the month of October at the “Qwirks-of-Art” gallery at 1602 NE 40th Ave. Portland, Oregon. Gallery hours are Wed.-Sat.11am to 7pm, and Sunday 11am to 4pm. For more information call 1-888-899-2022.
