During the height of summer, as I wandered through a lush garden teeming with life, I found myself drawn to the vibrant hues and textures of the berries. Red currants, with their brilliant, jewel-like clusters, seemed to catch and refract the sunlight in the most captivating way. Juicy raspberries, their delicate, textured surfaces evoking a sense of both sweetness and fragility, appeared like tiny treasures nestled amongst the leaves. And then there were the blackberries, rich and dark, almost mysterious in their depth of color. This vivid display of nature’s bounty sparked something within me, and I knew that I had to capture their essence on canvas.
The painting grew into a triptych, each panel dedicated to one of these glorious garden berries. I wanted to convey not just their visual beauty, but the sensory experience they provided—the tangy burst of a ripe red currant, the velvety lushness of a raspberry, and the complex bittersweetness of a blackberry. By celebrating these berries, I hoped to remind us all of nature’s simple pleasures and boundless beauty.

Paintings that are marked ‘not for sale’ actually will be for sale when they are dry
I post digital version of my painting ahead of the time it gets dry, so that customers can buy a print immediately. The original usually will be for sale when it gets dry.

Looks good. Interesting to see it on a big canvas!
Прекрасные работы, выбор цветов. Энергия жизни, но размеренной, спокойной и радостной
