Painting Strawberries

There is a strawberry bush right outside the barn which is perfect since I had wanted to paint some to make a "Harvesting the Strawberry in the Midwest" piece, similar to the carrot and potato piece I have done in the past.  

I will cut these out individually and attached them to the few months that they are ripe and ready to eat.  

The strawberry bush!

Harvesting the Carrot in the Midwest

I finished Harvesting the Carrot in the Midwest!  The carrot is harvested in the Midwest from July to November.  It is time to be more connected to our carrots and their growth!  This work is 48 x 58 inches (though the size can vary depending on how it is installed) and is made of watercolor on paper, jute, burlap, and fabric.

They grow in a variety of shapes and sizes.  It is always a surprise when I pull one from the ground.  And although one might seem a bit strange, it tastes just as good as an average one!
