There were strawberries at the market on Saturday. So I bought a basket. I ate some for breakfast and added some to my afternoon cocktail on Saturday and Sunday and Monday. A 3-day weekend calls for daily cocktails.
Because they were so pretty, and because my sister instagrammed the ones she was drawing, I decided I would draw some too.
I drew them standing up, lying on the side, and while looking at them from the top.
They don't look the same as my sister's strawberries. I am pretty sure that's because she was drawing California strawberries and I was drawing Kansas strawberries.
If you decide to draw some, I suggest when you are done, you dip them in creme fraiche (or sour cream or Greek yogurt) and pop them in your mouth and eat them. A sprinkling of brown sugar is optional.
yum!

Watermelon and strawberries are two of my favorite fruits. Both the drawings and the real deal look yummy.

shhhhh don't tell MAM..............yours are better!!
Ahhhh, sweet memories of UConn in the 60's....a fellow grad student home from two years at Cambridge gave us a special spring celebration: strawberries plus sour cream and brown sugar for dipping...............and icy cold white wine. You'd best try the wine instead of that Irish poteen we sometimes see on your counters!!!
