Berry basket

I love berry season and one of my favorite parts is to share our berries with people.  I ran out of little containers and putting them in baggies doesn't work well or look cute.  I found this idea on pinterest...I cut a paper plate and shaped it into a little basket and added some ribbon :)

Self Portrait - Les Fauves Style

My eyes were drawn to a painting by Kees van Dongen that I had do one similar of myself.  According to Wikipedia, Fauvism is a loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artist whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.  I used pastels. (As you can see I am growing out my afro.)
