Strawberry Trio

I really love this strawberry trio. It reminds me of my carefree childhood. I would pick up a bunch of strawberries, wash them and eat them while reading my favorite O'Henry's short stories outside.
This piece was a joy to paint!

This original acrylic still life painting is made on a 5x7x1/8 inch Ampersand archival museum quality gesso board using professional grade acrylic paint.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry


I've always wanted to paint a chocolate dipped strawberry, but never had a photo that inspired me. Recently, we had a new tiny store opened in our outlet mall, and their chocolate covered strawberries look so yummy! I bought some and took pictures. I love chocolate glaze with a hint of Alizarin in it!
At frist I made the background dark grey with lighter grey mottling on the sides, but then I changed it and made the sides black. I think it really pops the chocolate strawberry up!

The painting is made on 6x6x1.5', acrylic on gallery wrapped (deep profile) canvas.

Halved Strawberry

 
My 13-year-old daughter loves fruit salad in the morning. I mix all sorts of fruit that I can find in my refrigerator. One morning I was cutting fruit, and I noticed that strawberries have a very cute heart-like shape inside. I carefully cut one with the stem and the still life composition was ready to paint!
 
Hope you enjoy this one!
