Cherries

June 4, 2011 - 8" x 10" acrylic on canvas

I know I said my next painting would be a landscape, and it's still true: My next painting will be a landscape.  However, we had a charity event at the gallery on the 4th, benefiting school arts programs, so I decided to do a small painting while students and their parents browsed.  This is the result. 

It's been a while since I did fruit, but on Friday night I'd had some cherries and they were wonderful.  So I got it in my mind to do a small painting  of the little gems.  It's pretty much a three color painting: pthalo blue, red shade; napthol red; and white (with a little cad yellow and pthalo blue green shade for the stem.)  Nothing fancy, but it's pretty.
