"Fruit Is Love"

This arrangement quite literally dropped onto the table. I bought raspberries specifically for painting, and was disappointed to find that without cores and leaves (like freshly plucked) they are significantly less interesting visually. When I put this one down on the table, I got lucky because it's heart-shaped. Appropriate for Valentine's Day, and edible, too.

This is great! From one former MA resident to another! You did a great job not overworking the seeds on the stawberry and the globes on the raspberry. Good luck in TX!

Thanks! I actually had suspicions that the raspberry was undermodeled, but I decided to let it go. I think I may even invest in some kind of magnifier for painting such small stuff, but that's for the future.
