| June - Love Birds Under the Strawberry Moon 613 encaustic and mixed media on birch 8x10 |
Wondering what is a Strawberry Moon? In North America, the peak harvesting season for strawberries in June gives that month’s full moon its name. I love strawberries, especially those fresh from the farmer's market - you know the ones that look so incredibly ripe, you know you have to eat them all in just a day or they won't last - Yep, those ones are the best.
Almost to the halfway mark of June. You can catch up with the painting a day in June project - HERE. Happy Friday everyone!!
