Blackberry



This was growing over the fence, and it reminded me of a thread started by Dale Ziegler on Wet Canvas in June ( I believe Dale quoted Georgia O'Keefe as his inspiration). It is painted on a piece of Bockingford paper measuring 15" by 11", so the berry is many times its actual size.

It proved to be a very good exercise for me - focusing on looking for the colours and being more careful with my brush strokes than usual.

Maybe this is an idea for my "series" for next year's art class.
