So glad it's cherry painting season again. After fiddling around with half a dozen cherries in different arrangements, this pair appeared just as they are. I seldom see a deeper meaning in fruit, but to me this looks like a male and female cherry...married a long time...maybe about 35 years...the kids are grown and gone...their stems are starting to dry up...okay, somebody stop me.
Nice and simple- and truly deftly painted cherries.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical, simple and just such good form and brushwork that is all you needed. I should say the post was whimsical...enjoy your sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteI happened upon your blog. Love your work! Very fresh and lively. Thank you for blogging.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteYou aught to go on with the story, they look like an interesting couple:)
ReplyDeleteLove this one. I like the loose brush strokes over the underpainting in the background. Good values in the cherries, and the reflected light really makes them have volume. Cute story!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing because he broke his hip last year and needs a little help getting out of the bowl. She is ready to travel after his long working career. She stayed home with the kids but is cheery and vibrant...and now, this.
