Still Life, Oil on Linen on Board, 4" x 4", "Strawberry" |
Email for purchase info.
While painting this, I remembered being very little and having my Mom buy us matching t-shirts. I begged to have the shirt, because it featured a cute mouse holding a strawberry. Isn't it amazing what objects will trigger our memories?
Every year during strawberry season, our family goes to a "you pick" farm. The scent of strawberries and rich soil washes the air and there is a playground for families to enjoy after picking. I hope that my daughter will look at a strawberry after she is grown, and remember our times there together.
Does the strawberry trigger a special moment in time for you?

Thank you, Lillian! Some things evoke memories or thoughts, others are just their own entity. They're not the same for everyone, either. I think that's the interesting part. Thanks for being here.
