I cooked up this painting in my kitchen. Really, there's fabulous lighting in the kitchen, plus a huge window. I felt energetic and ready to tackle reflections on silver. The cherry on the left has an upturned stem. Can you see it? Getting that to read right was tricky. I tried not to overwork the silver plate...not sure I succeeded. There's thalo blue in the lightest parts of the silver...so yummy with the dark red, that's my favorite aspect of this one.
