About This Piece
This painting was done in my mostly grey and white studio, inspired by a pinkish full moon. I was craving colour after our long white winter and so looking forward to spring; I chose this painting for its saturated colour. The Strawberry Moon is the full moon in June named after the wild strawberries that ripen then. It is also named the Rose Moon; Hot Moon and Mead Moon.
