Romantic Botanicals #19

Mr. Fantastic and the Strawberry Season

Both my daughters are home sick. They are 12 and 14 but I still feel neglectful sitting out in the front yard painting while they are inside watching a movie.

I paint the strawberry plants red and pink because that is the colour of their fruit. I want depth so I paint the distant plant. I have been thinking that romantic things don't make you feel trapped so these works will benefit from including distant items.
