Mulberries Painting size 15" x 11" |
This painting of Mulberries was inspired by reading on a menu last weekend "Mulberry Souffle". Whilst away on our gastronomic getaway I mentioned to my friend Judy that this was another fruit I had yet to paint. She told me about the Mulberry trees that were somewhere on the vineyard property where our restaurant was located and also how she had used Mulberry leaves to feed silkworms that were studied in her Science classes she taught at high school. We did not order the souffle as we were all too full by the Sunday afternoon to eat another mouthful. I have tried here to add a little abstractness into the otherwise loose interpretation finding new ways to add interest to my edible series that I have been creating over the past 12 months.
A beautiful design, Lorraine, that really showcases you beautiful technique. It is a joy always to see your works.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind and supportive Terry, many thanks for your encouragement
DeleteLorraine - these mulberries look lovely...I like the squares in your design as well. Too bad you were too full for the souffle. It sounds like it would have been delicious. Hope you are having a great autumn day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie, it is getting challenging to try and come up with new ideas
DeleteHello Lorraine:) I love the little abstract you added. The squares make this painting so much interesting. Great art!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like this Renate
DeleteI like your design for this! It really sets off the berries themselves. i don't know if I would have been able to resist the soufflé.
ReplyDeleteMust admit Joan I would normally have jumped at the dessert but evenm I had to say no
DeleteVery loose and lovely with a beautiful design, almost a little japanese air about it . Mulberries are so delicious !
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane for your feedback, cannot remember the taste of the Mulberry but I love all sorts of berries
