Sometime after moving into her new house my sister requested some fruit paintings for her dining room, I have finally obliged. She had sent me examples of different styles that all had lots of color and were somewhat leaning toward pop art. She said she knew she wanted apples and strawberries, but the rest was up to me. I kinda walked the line between realism and pop art. The background colors were inspired by her house, and I can’t wait to see them there.
Huckleberries were a must for me, she hasn’t had them but I wanted her to have my favorite berry representing the mountains for me. The shrubs these grow on are usually wild looking, so I left them that way to really be true to the plant.
Salmon berries are on many of the hikes my husband and I go on, so I thought they would be another fun PNW addition to her home.
