Inspired by the local library's upcoming "Food in Art" competition, I dusted off my supplies and wrestled this portrait out of my artistically atrophied soul. I wanted to allow the watercolor base to shine through, but the colored pencils took over. I worked and reworked, and now I think I'll just let it be. Not sure if I'll enter it in the contest, but I'm glad for the impetus to put my 3 lovely little berry pickers on paper.
