A relatively quick painting. I started with the back drop to ‘set up my lighting’ a it were. Then thought, what would look interesting in this light? Best I could come up with was a strawberry from a picture I took of one from our garden. I used the photo as a reference, but deviated considerably once I got the shape and the basic details.

One nice thing about strawberries is that they are seldom the perfect strawberry shape, so I didn’t mind that mine is a bit malformed.
