new prints and into the berry bramble
October 4, 2009 | Filed Under etsy, paintings, wanderings | by Sarah Blank | 19 CommentsA print from my drawing From Within is now available in the shop.
I just love the frame, which was a lucky discovery in a second hand shop. The gold just glows.
Yesterday I was going through some of my older work and I was inspired by the imagery and textures that I was using. I think I might revisit the idea of the white fox (oops I mean wolf). I just love the texture in this piece, I used imprints of antique lace in the paint. Phantom lace, if you will.
Beautiful color inspiration on a lazy Sunday.
I can’t believe these luscious colors exist, all on one berry bush (and apparently a big black snake thought so too, he was slithering up in the bramble). There was the brightest magenta paired with baby blues, in berry form, growing together simultaneously.
Does anyone know what type of berries these are? They were growing amongst rose hips, in a meadow besides a pond.
Wow, Sarah…the print is beautiful. It’s so stark and haunting. Perfect for the time of year, I suppose. And I just love your fox painting.
Unfortunately, I am not certain as to what types of berries those are – but they look like little spotted eggs. Sincerely, Theresa
Thank you Theresa! Thanks to another reader the berries are called Porcelain berries. And, as it turns out, they aren’t too nice to have growing in the wild here in the northeast. Its a shame, because they are so pretty and I like to admire them.
Those are excellent — they look like the little malted eggs you get around Easter! And I love your fox
yes, they do…yum!
Thanks! I wrote fox by accident, actually i think it was supposed to be a wolf. Oh well.
do revisit the white fox – the variety of media is perfect!
i also adore the berries, i never can seem to find anything quite so magical around here!
yes, but the ones you bought are just as pretty!
Thank you:)
wow, your print looks amazing in that frame. it just seems to pop! well done
thank you!!
Your print looks great! I think the magical plant is a pocelain berry. Although it is gorgeous, the vine is an invasive species unfortunately.

oh dear, how horrible! its the same with many favorite wildflowers as well. I hope these berries aren’t doing much harm to their habitat. Thanks for the info!
Those berries are beautiful! They look like candy or marbles.
The print is also beautiful of course
I love the fact that it is oval.
thanks! I am always happy with the oval shape. something about it…
They look like fairy berries! I’ve never seen anything like them!
I hope they might appear in your artwork someday…
Sx
thank you!!! they do remind me of something magical, especially in autumn!
Your new print is gorgeous as ever!! I love her expression! And those berries are SO pretty….like little painted Easter eggs (Or Robins Egss). So lovely!
thank you!!!!!
