BIG BLUEBERRY - 30 Paintings Day 3 - GIVEAWAY - ART PARTY TOP ARTIST AWARDS

BIG BLUEBERRY
ORIGINAL PAINTING BY SEA DEAN
4" x 4" Mini Masterpiece
(The shadow is bronze which is tough to photograph but looks great in the flesh)

On auction at Daily Paintworks

To view my Gallery or purchase this painting please visit Daily Paintworks. Larger originals or prints may be available by contacting me.

As soon as I saw Yuehua He's painting of Blueberries on Daily Paintworks it flashed into my mind to paint one really big blueberry. So here it is.

I adore blueberries and luckily they are good for you too. Blueberries do well frozen, so if fresh isn't an option, frozen is a good option.I've lived in places where Blueberries are plentiful and cheap, so at those times you can buy huge trays of them and freeze them for desert and breakfast for the rest of the year. Little pleasures like Blueberries can be enjoyed all year round.

I know an accountant that takes payment in Blueberries from a farm he consults for. I wonder if there's a farmer out there that would swap my painting for a case of the real thing?

ART PARTY AWARDS

VOTES HAVE BEEN TALLIED and it came as no surprise that Artists that posted the most paintings gained the most votes. I think purely because I organized the party and was there from the start, I had the top count. However, I'm not eligible, so here are the winners.
MOST VOTES SHEILA DELGADO - www.sheiladelgado.com/
JOINT RUNNERS UP - CAROL HOPPER - www.carolhopper.com PAM SCHOESSHOW - http://pamelajeannestudio.com
HONOURABLE MENTION KARIN NAYLOR - 30daystopaintinspiration.wordpress.com
When doing the tally I noticed that some paintings were more popular than others, so I decided to also make an award for that achievement.

  1. I love this Sea. Love blue, and love blueberries! I am laughing because it brought to mind the original Willy Wonka movie. The bratty girl that turned into a big blueberry.
