'Miracles'
Oil 4 X 4

Day 14
Day 14
Two years ago, I decided to plant strawberries
in one of the raised beds of my vegetable
garden. The twenty plants did well - our first crop
was not large, but we had some wonderful, sweet
strawberries. I was so looking forward to the
next growing season, when I just knew we
were going to have a bumper crop of berries...
Well, much to my surprize, when I went out
that next year to see how my strawberry plants
were faring, I was shocked to see that all of the
plants were gone...and was even more shocked
to find my husband had pulled all of them out
and had disposed of them because he thought
they were weeds...
But miracles do happen...apparently two of the
plants got tossed into one of the other raised beds
and they took root. Both plants put out
berries, so we might even have enough for some
strawberry shortcake...if I decide to share them
with the culprit...

My husband still hasn't stopped laughing. This is something he can identify with. Great painting, Claire.
Those few berries you have left should be extra sweet... I like the small size, color and detail. Just enough!
Husbands; dont-cha just just love-em?
Nice painting Claire. Way to go on your dedication to your 100 day painting challenge! Keep up the good work.
This is a really sweet painting, Claire. The composition is so very pleasing and the mood - yes! a strawberry has a mood - is just right.
I love the flower peeking out and giving us her comments!
Thanks for the comments!
I believe in miracles and in strawberry shortcake.
