In the final light of day, I carved out a very small study of three blueberries. I was pondering the notion of painting them larger, but every larger size felt like perspective was being lost by blowing them up to so much larger than life size. Maybe next time.

I carved out yet another small study of three blueberries. I keep learning some big things while studying some of the smallest things. Blue and crimson are bathed in the warmth of autumn sunlight, so a great triangle of primary colors pivots on a constantly moving balance point.

Today I carved out a small study of three blueberries. It's all so fun, and blue. If blueberries came in larger sizes, say, the size of pomegranates, I could really have some fun.
