Blueberry illustration used on a beverage label.
As an artist, my niche was food illustration. It would probably be even more descriptive to say that I was a fruit illustrator.
This was used on Darigold Yogurt.
For this post, I’ve decided to share blueberries. Most of my illustrations were used on labels. Some examples of the products were yogurt, liqueur, sorbet, jam, juice and vitamins.
This was used for a non-stick spray can label.
A few of these paintings were rendered with markers and colored pencils. Others were created with watercolor dyes.
This was Blueberry Cooler flavor for Caprisun.
This label was for blueberry jam.
This illustration was used on a yogurt label. I regretted cropping the artwork.
These actually are sloe berries, used in gin. But they resemble blueberries.
This illustration is of bilberries, and was used on an herbal vitamin label.
All of these paintings were done before Photoshop existed. I have a blog where I describe my technique and have a lot more information. It is at:

Thank you so much for your comments, Bette. You’ve given me a big smile. I was going to name my post “feelin’ blue,” but can’t now!
