This is likely the last of the cherry paintings for a while since they won’t be available for at least the next few months.  I wanted to combine the intricacies of the hand with the shiny cherries and this is what I came up with.  Another highly enjoyable experience.

Coke Bottle III

Oil on canvas (8 x 16 inches)

SOLD

Once again, I find myself drawn to the vintage coke bottle as a subject.  Subtle changes in lighting can alter how the whole image appears.  In this case, I opted for lower light which gave the cast shadow a soft glow.  I have a lot of fun working with all the little abstract bits and pieces that go into making this kind of painting!

Pink Stripe Cherries

Oil on gesso board (8 x 10 inches)

SOLD

I’m still enjoying painting cherries even though the season here has long gone.  In this painting I was able to combine the fun of painting the reflected light and golden highlights along with the challenge of the cherries themselves. 

Masquerade

Oil on gesso board (9 x 12 inches)

SOLD

I found these masks at a garage sale this summer, which was fortunate because I had wanted to do a painting of “fancy” masks for a while.  I liked the challenge of capturing the shiny parts of the trim and the sparkles on the masks, as well as the texture in the feathers.
