Why People are Not Feeling Full from Eating Berries

1989-1990,tempera, aquarelle on paper, 27,5x19,5 cm /// Kārlis Dobrājs (1943) is one of the classics of Latvian painting. The series of drawings have been commissioned for the book “Windy Accipiter” (“Vēja vanadziņš”, 1993). It compiles a selection of artistic designs of Latvian legends and tales with a visually represented narrative of the story itself. The coloured, hand-drawn illustrations are original artwork in one copy. The illustration’s berry-picker is why people cannot get full stomachs from eating berries. When he went to pick berries, God met him and asked if his stomach was full. Even though he ate berries, he replied, “Not full, not hungry,” so God has determined that you cannot feel full from eating berries.
