I’ve never reblogged someone else’s entire post but these strawberry paintings are too wonderful to pick and choose. All of them painted by Joseph Decker who was born in Germany in 1853 but immigrated with his family to the United States at the age of 14 and painted here. Died in 1924. From the blog godsandfoolishgrandeur.blogspot.com. One image below, please check out the link for the rest.
