Do I really need to describe this painting? Chocolate covered strawberries...what a delight. This was painted during the Christmas season mainly because the colors were appropriate. Lets face it - we all know at least one person that would just die without their chocolate fix.

I'm posting this here even though it is already sold. I tried to do a box of chocolates previously as a drawing and as a watercolor. The drawing simply lost it's appeal without color. The watercolor...well, I'm embarrassed to admit but the chocolates always looked like 'dirt'. (another case where watercolor got the best of me)

This little painting is my favorite of the little Christmas Gems, at least so far. Can't you smell the chocolate and strawberries?

If you are one of those people that can't live without your chocolate fix, hang in there - I will be doing more in the future.

Love the way you are working in acrylic. You're inspiring me to give it another try. Lately I've been back to watercolor for a couple of animal paintings I wanted to do and for my Manor Park series, which for some reason I almost always choose to do in watercolor instead of oil. Some subjects just seem to lend themselves to one medium or another.

Glad you are back to work and thanks for your help on FASO.

Phyllis and Marian,
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm really enjoying working in acrylics. Hope to do more soon. The time I have to pursue my painting isn't nearly as much as I would like any more...but soooo enjoy every minuet that do have.

I had another thought about your Christmas subject paintings. Do a series that are in the same proportion as greeting cards and approach publishers. They seem to me to be perfect for cards.

Ruth,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I did 15 of these small paintings and sold all but three. Will certainly do this again next year.

Phyllis,
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I had not thought of that but will look into it for next year.
