With Cherries on Top
With Cherries on Top
6″ x 6″ (15 x 15 cm) – oil on gessobord – SOLD
This was supposed to be the last of the three paintings for the Buck County gallery show. After this one the plan was to relax, go sketching, catch up with planning the USk Chicago Seminar, maybe do laundry… But while I painted it I heard from Randy Higbee about his spectacular 6″ Squared Show in December. I managed to miss it last year and promised myself to make sure to be in it this year. And so I need two more paintings to make it into two different shows. Pressure! Stress! Deadlines! I thought I left that kind of stuff behind when I left the corporate rat race – LOL!
I am rather pleased with this painting. The idea occurred to me in early summer, when Rainer cherries were in season. I composed my setup, but wasn’t sure of it. So I sketched it first and showed the sketch to my Sketckpack buddies. They liked it. With that I felt better and painted it :).

I love it! Especially the guidebook to Musee d’Orsay, one of Paris’ most fabulous treasures.
Thanks, Barb!
Beautiful!!! I love the sketch but the painting is wonderful…love the reflections of the cherries.
Appreciate you stopping by, Joan! Thanks!
Super duper wonderful. Love the sketch too!
Ha! Super duper thanks to you! You always make me laugh! 🙂
Mirrored beauty.
Thank you, Leslie!
Really lovely. Cherries are like apples and cherry tomatoes – incredible subject matter. The book is a nice addition.
My first cherries painting! While they are a wonderful subject, I could not come up with a cherry story worth painting until now :).
Beautiful work! If this painting is still available, please email me the price. Thanks!
