Single Strawberry


Oil on 1/8" Gessoboard. Approx 6"x6" SOLD

Simple but detailed today. I really enjoyed painting this strawberry. From the reflected light to those very specific highlights.

  9. Beautiful Michael! Something tells me this was consumed shortly after the masterpiece was complete. : ) My uncle lives in Wheaton and it is a great community. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

  10. Mike!

    Elegant, simple, almost photorealistic yet still painterly.

    Love it!
