Fiquei imaginando como seria um Dezembro gelado ao ver essa foto linda da Élodie Trudel... Então, como não dá pra sentir frio atualmente (alô verão brazuca chegando socorro), resolvi pintar! ❄️🧣 〰️ I was wondering how a cold December must feel like when I saw this gorgeous picture by Élodie Trudel... So I decided to paint it! 🧣❄️ . . . . . #procreate #ipadpro #painting #digitalpainting #pinturadigital #ohelo #elodietrudel #pintura #procreatepainting #pinturanoprocreate #illustration #ilustração #winter #inverno #cold #cozy #girl #digitalillustration #ilustraçãodigital #studiovulpes #allyribeiro #frio #timelapse #timelapsevideo #paintingtimelapse (em Alfenas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6IzfjvA9h2/?igshid=1hv50q2smznbq

ʻŌhelo, Vaccinium reticulatum

Related to blueberries and cranberries, ʻōhelo is a plant endemic to Hawaiʻi.  The fruit is sweet and sometimes tart, making delicious jams or even just snacks on the trail.  Before eating, it's customary to leave the first fruits to Pele, but it's also best to leave most on the plant for Nēnē geese (Branta sandvicensis).
