Hi Jeanne,
I love your sense of humor! I hope you have a wonderful year in 2008. I love the berry and the reflection of it...so lush looking. I will look forward to viewing your creativity in this new year.

Thank you so much, Joanne! Although a tad bit corny, I couldn't resist the title. This particular strawberry seems to have a presence in life, which I've not quite been able to capture in the photograph...particularly those leaves! I appreciate your comments and support! Best wishes for a wonderful New Year!

Jeanne, your work is wonderful and has the richness of a Rembrandt!
Hope to stop by soon again...

Oh, thank you so much, Brenda! How flattering, indeed. I suppose as much as I try to bring a more contemporary look to my work it somehow keeps coming out with a classical flair. Thanks again, Jeanne
