Summer Treats
When the hot days of Summer roll around, I start to think about the delicious treats that will be bountiful in the markets and roadside stands. One of my favorites is the blueberry. I have many a memory of picking them in my own backyard and in the poconos. Picking is slow going if you take the time to weed out the twigs and other tag alongs. It gives me plenty of time to study the plant leaves and bushes as well as the berries themselves. Of course I can't study those that go quickly onto my mouth.
I have created an etching of blueberries in a limited edition. When the etchings have been pulled, I then get out my watercolors and hand color each print. Many people comment that this technique looks similar to the old fashioned etchings found in old books and parlors.
