Strawberries and Cream
Strawberries and Cream
6x8in oil on canvas board $125. SOLD
Nothing can be better than strawberries with fresh whipped cream.
...well... except maybe raspberries!
I am a whipped cream addict. I cannot be trusted to be around it.
My uncontrollable finger sneaks into the bowl and exits with a huge mound
of delicious cream going right into my mouth.
AND I admit to licking the beaters!!!!

Not only is this a gorgeous painting, Julie...it looks so delicious! The strawberries look so fresh and the cream so "creamy"..love it!
ReplyDeletethanks for the very 'sweet" comment, Hilda.
DeleteYour comments about whipped cream have completely distracted me. Painting,what painting? My mouth is watering!LOL
ReplyDeleteThe upper left quadrant is alive with the energy of the whole painting. The colors are marvelous. They are almost playing with us. The strong diagonal takes me right into the painting. yes.
Such a flattering job of analyzing the painting, Helen. Thank you very much.
DeleteYou are so very welcome. And I am still craving whipped cream!
DeleteThat look tasty, and there is just enough information/details to make it obvious that it is strawberries. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roger. You say the iris is your fav flower and the abstract you just did shows why. It is wonderful.
DeleteWonderful, but just to late for Wimbledon.
ReplyDeleteWimbledon - ah, yes...never miss it!
DeleteLove your amazing feat of drawing skill on the boat, John. Totally amazing.
that was supposed to be, 'too late' ....of course!
DeleteI left an answer over there to your query on ink washes :0)
While I look at this still life painting with such mastery ...
ReplyDeleteI also want to eat it!
Oh,Julie,shame not to be close to you to give you a hand to finish the cream and strawberries! A great joy comes from your words and your superb painting!
Thanks Rita - wish we could have strawberries and cream together too.
DeleteYour new watercolor of the horses head is spectacular!
While this painting is fabulous, my mind is now on raspberries and fresh whipped cream. That sounds so yummy to me (I'm not as much a fan of strawberries, but raspberries? Ooh yummy!)!
ReplyDeleteWe think alike for sure. Thanks for the neat comment.
DeleteBeautiful painting, I love how you put such great texture into your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann. I really liked your sketches.
DeleteYou'd be suspect if you didn't lick the beaters!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job on the painting also-love the connecting power of that spoon!
You are always good a spotting design/linkage tools.
DeleteThanks Libby.
The clean studio discussion on your blog is great!
Julie, I'd go for either strawberries or raspberries with the whipped cream! Your painting is swoon worthy... Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love the "swoon worthy" - thank you very much.
DeleteThe painting looks so delicious, I'm tempted to lick my computer screen!
ReplyDeleteI have a big smile on my face, Bruce. Fun comment and I love it!
DeleteI also enjoyed the discussion of 'image consistency' on your great blog. Your work is fabulous not matter what you do. Lucky you!
Wow! Beautifully painted! Your love for the cream does show through in this painting :)
ReplyDeleteHi there Vinayak - I am glad to hear from you as I have not seen any new work for a while. Loved your portrait of the young lady.
DeleteThanks for the comment.
I am with you on that one Julie!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting. Now I have to go to the store and get some.
I can tell you flat out that I dare not have a can of cream either - I main-line the stuff right into the mouth standing at the fridge door! Disgusting...I really am an addict so I dare not have any in. Shhhh...don't tell!
Deleteyou have done an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThanks and you did an awesome job of explaining Poo (flower)Kolam (pattern) with those wonderful photos.
DeleteWhen I was in India I fell in love with the way flowers were used everywhere.
Yummy subject and absolutely yummy painting!
ReplyDeleteI like yummy - fits how I feel about cream.
ReplyDeleteYour white horse painting is a pure pleasure to see,
I can keep looking at this lovely work for the whole day, it is so refreshing , Julie, such a pleasure to enjoy your works!
