raspberries

My goal this morning was to pick the raspberries and get them into the freezer. Now that is my goal for the afternoon because the morning was spent painting this. For 12 years I taught at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology the same week of July. That was always the week the raspberries were ready to be picked so much of the job was done by my husband. For the past two years I've done a lot of it. I also eat a lot of them. 6 x 6 inches, oil on gessoed panel.
