Strawberries are Everywhere





It's true, it's that time of year when strawberries  are everywhere and I love eating and painting them, but sometimes they get eaten before I can paint them!

Our group exhibition at a restaurant has been getting some publicity in local papers...fame at last!

My painting looks ok in black and white I think?

In this article we were likened to the 'Charlie's Angels of painting'.....I really don't think so!!!

Cathy, your painting looks great in black and white. But Charlie's Angels??? Hmmm ...

Hey, can I be Charlie?!

Love the strawberries - such a "simple" subject - but with it you have made the most beautiful composition, making ample use of that negative space. Love it!

An artist's riddle:
Q - Why does your painting look so good in black and white?
A - It has value!

Lol, I guess this newspaper black and white shows the real life importance of a value study! Yes, it looks good even in the paper! I don't know about Charlie's Angels as all I know about them is they were cops I think, who ran around in dresses and high heels. What they have to do with artists is beyond me.
