The movement in the blue has absolutely captured my heart. I had so much fun with this small series. Not quite a still life but an observation. I love observing now colors bleed and blend into each other and how the background can compliment them. I hope you love it just as much.
I’ve always has a love/hate relationship with strawberries. And on this day, I loved how beautifully red they looked just after the strawberry festival. It felt just so: a strawberry dream, so intoxicating sweet and tangy. I hope you love it as much as I do.
