ABOUT THIS PIECE

“Truthfully, I feel more confident about my oil paintings than I do my watercolors, but I am pleased with this one. I really enjoy painting seasonal pieces, and I thought berries and watercolor would be a nice way to express what I was feeling, which was to paint loosely and without boundaries.”
