"Five Plus One" 10" x 10" Oil on Linen


I'm still on the green apple thing I have going, but strawberries....I don't know. I'm so tempted to eat them. I had, I thought, a real challenge in front of me. I wanted to try to paint really red strawberries, but I just couldn't come up with a pleasing composition. So I actually pulled in the green apple to keep me in my comfort zone, being that I've been painting them a lot lately. I tried to indicate the seeds in the berries, but that was a disaster, so I just kept them "sterile".

Love the berries....and the apple!! I like the berries without the seeds...it is the color that makes them so real! Love the drawing in this painting.
