This month's inspiration photos (there are two) were taken from one of those accidental still lifes that caught my attention. At the market, I could not resist these organic fruits - strawberries and blackberries. After washing them thoroughly (even though they were labeled ORGANIC), I set them out onto paper towels to dry. I thought the sunlight on them made an interesting dynamic, so I snapped a few photos. Paint all of the berries, or just do a portrait of one...

I did adjust the lighting some in "Ready to Eat" so that I could see more detail in the shadows. As you can see, the light paper towel picks up the blues and reds of the berries that also create purple-to-red-purple hues.
By the way, those blackberries were the sweetest, most delicious I have ever tasted! Yum.
