Description
Fresh Picked Strawberries with Blossoms. Gardeners gift and wall art. The strawberry, Fragaria, is one of the most popular berry fruits in the world. There are more than 10 species of Fragaria that differ in flavor, size and texture yet they all have the same characteristic heart-shaped, red flesh and seeded coat together with small, regal, leafy green caps and stems that adorn their crowns. The strawberry is sacred to the Virgin Mary, and plays a prominent role in Marian Theology, and in medieval Christian art and folklore, the strawberry symbolizes spiritual purity, decency, righteousness, and perfect nobility of spirit.
Strawberry blossoms are edible raw though most folks wait for the fruit. Of course, you can be different and toss the flowers on salads just to surprise folks.
About the artist: My journey as an artist is taking me to Italy. I will continue my art studies at SACI Florence working toward my MFA in studio arts. Your purchase will help me pay for my education, housing, and art materials. You will be part of my journey making it possible. If you love my work and want to congratulate or show your appreciation please buy me a virtual cup of coffee. Each cup will cover the cost of a brush or tube of paint. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/QqFTldA
