It was painted as part of the from life weekly series. I was hoping for the sunlight but the week was dedicated to the storm and it rained all days long.

So I decided to utilize the diffused light and painted strawberries without composing them in any particular order.

It was painted as part of the from life weekly series. I had this prop around my studio and it was very interesting how it responds to sublight.

Painting from life can be very satisfying experience if you think about it. The race against changing light, prompt selection of colors and resulting sense of accomplishment is gratifying.

So, here is to the week #2. Enjoy!
