Blueberries always make me think of summer and childhood—bare feet in the grass, sunshine on your shoulders, and the sweet pop of a berry between your teeth.
They make a great, convenient snack and there’s something light-hearted and comforting about them. I love their soft, dusty surface and the variety of blues and purples I get to use when painting them.
This piece is part of my Produce series in oil, and it brings a bit of joy and calm to me every time I look at it.
It’s a 6x6" painting on flat (1/8") hardboard, created with loose, painterly brushstrokes and a light texture. The piece is varnished, unframed, and ready to find its new home.
