After adjustments to composition. I added an extra berry toward the center and got rid of unnecessary detail. 
After applying edge detection
Original photoThis Spring I took a few photos when they were starting to set flower and a few baby strawberries were beginning to appear. Yesterday I decided to use the fraise des boise as a subject for a painting. I selected one of those photos and to save time applied edge detection to it in my photo editor, converted the altered image to negative and printed out a copy. Then I used pencil to make adjustments to the composition. I'm not sure how detailed I want to go with this one yet but better to have too much information than not enough.

I think this will be a lovely piece. The interest lies trifold- the leaves, the flowers and the berries.
Alpine strawberries grow wild at the edge of the meadow on my property and I never seem to remember to harvest them before the birds and slugs do. I agree, they have a lovely taste, unlike mass produced berries that seem to be grown for size instead of flavour these days.
I was surprised how much sweeter the white variety is than the red. The white berries never look ripe so they are deceiving.
I'm not sure how I want to go about painting this yet. I think I'll be doing a vignette in small format. Not sure what surface I'll choose either. ummm...decisions, decisions.
Wow, really surprising and interesting blog.
