"Juicy Fruit"
These strawberries were BIG, but not this big.....Sitting too close to the set-up? Getting carried away? Maybe I should have wiped this one off, or not posted.....Is that cheating? So, strawberries with stems....maybe a garnish for your New Year's champagne????? My last post for 2009. Happy New Year!

"Holly-day Berries"
I saw these Winter Berry branches at the market and really wanted to use them in a painting....when I googled them, I found out that they are, indeed, from a (deciduous) holly tree,
I love the line that branches create in a painting.....I can only imagine how beautiful these colorful berries must look in a snowy landscape! Sorry for the delayed posting....by the time I get the painting finished and ready to post, I can not get on line....See you again, soon!

"Giant Jingle"
This is my second try on this set-up....The first one I painted yesterday and wiped off! I am happier with this one. A shiny jingle bell! What was I thinking...I guess I am just caught up in the holiday spirit! I had a few issues with uploading this photo....I finally took another picture, cropped it, etc. and it finally worked! I have NO idea what the problem was....but I am happy it worked this time!

"Sweet-tart"
A friend's kumquat tree is loaded with fruit! She let me pick a branch or two to use. (We ate some, too!) The sweet part is the skin...the fruit is the tart part! So.....you eat the whole thing! I actually started this last week, and got distracted. The leaves died, and the fruit shriveled up before I started painting. Thankfully I had taken a picture of the set up....I am glad I took time to paint at this busy time of year....it is frightening how quickly I can get rusty! Merry Christmas everyone! Til tomorrow?????
