I thought I posted this watercolor here but I put it on Art Colony blog first. It is 15x21.75 and was painted on the backside of a failed acrylic that had wax crayon lines. If you look closely you can see these lines that I decided to include within the composition of these fresh blueberries. I used a paper doily as a background stencil for a suggestion of lace; this creates repetition of the round holes in the old colander/strainer.Thursday, August 5, 2010

Yummy, love those blues!
Thanks Leada!
Kay, I love this blueberry painting, it is beautiful....I think I'll make blueberry cobbler today!
As usual I look at your painting and smile. It's just so me! Did you use lace as a stencil? The whole painting is fresh and lovely. I just love your style!
Kay, the colors of your blueberries are beautiful! i may need to ask you how you got that great color!!

Some fresh blueberry muffins from scratch with real butter comes to mind...lately I've been painting food for some strange reason.
I used a paper doily placemat edges for a stencil. Also have a cheap dollar store plastic lace tablecloth to use.
For the paint colors: Prussian blue, manganese, cobalt, UB, and Midnight Blue (by American Journey).
I really like this one, you've captured the battered old enamel strainer perfectly.
This one just grabbed me and I can't stop looking at it - it's wonderful and fresh and perfect.
This is stunning; I absolutely love it and I think you are incredibly versatile; one of my very favorite artists.
