I love the low key of this painting. Very refreshing. I have not tried to paint raspberries, but I bet it's not easy. These are beautiful. The variation of color adds so much, and the texture of the cloth is lovely. I guess I love it all!
How yummy! Yes, these are reminiscent of those days of berry picking. What a neat find. Your rendering is very faithful to the truth of the berries. Another amazing point is you've accomplished so much actual detail on so small a scale - 5" by 7" - really? Sweet!
I come from a family of painters and as a young woman, I was taught the basics by my aunt who already was an accomplished artist. This fed my desire to continue my passion for Art. I went on to take courses at Mass College of Art and studied with the Cape Ann artists. I was especially influenced by Helen Van Wyk of Rockport. I taught in the Continuing Ed Program at Lowell U, and other places. Received an Art Culture Grant. Exhibited from Maine to Penn. Won awards, give lectures. Paint almost everyday. Member of the Whistler House Museum in Lowell, MA. the Chelmsford Art Society. Former member of the Copley Society, the Northshore Art Assoc., Lexington, Concord and New Hampshire Art Assoc .Thank you for visiting my blogspot. I hope you are enjoying viewing my paintings.
