Although I couldn't make it to Florida, Mollie kindly provided me with a photo of the drawing to copy; from there I have painted this version of the crystal bowl with strawberries.
I have to thank Mollie Jones - she's an absolute star. If you'd like to visit her blog, go HERE
and here is my painting:

ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I am amazed at the look of the crystal. It looks so shiny and real. It makes one want to just reach in and grab a handful!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat
ReplyDeleteThe bowl with the strawberries look wonderful. Especially in warm weather, the painting looks so refreshing.
This way of painting seems to you very well.
