When Red Beret Meets Raspberry Beret

Girl in a raspberry colored beret.

Hand lettering, "Raspberry Beret", surrounding illustration of a girl in a raspberry colored beret. References to Prince and his song, "Raspberry Beret" and to Picasso and his painting, "Woman in a Red Beret".

 

Ever get a song stuck in your head? As I worked on my version of Picasso’s “Woman in a Red Beret “, the song, “Raspberry Beret “, by Prince floated into my mind. I started to wonder if Prince had been inspired by Picasso, too. And then, I realized the poetry of following “…berry” with “beret”. In all these years, I had never noticed it before. A belated hats off to Prince.
