ONE

6x6 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord

I've seen many beautiful paintings of cherries these last couple of weeks. They have been an inspiration (thanks to all the cherry painters!) so I decided to try my hand at painting this fruit, too. This little cherry shows deep, rich reds. Really gorgeous colors ..... oh, and they taste good, too! :-)

On another note, I ordered some frames from King of Frames and they arrived yesterday. If you need frames I recommend this site - King of Frames. Today they are offering a fantastic special with Leslie Saeta and Dreama Tolle Perry. I just ordered my "special" and can't wait to receive it!!

It's Friday! Have a great week-end!!

  1. Hey Linda, love this! The title kinda threw me but I love it! It made me blink to see if I was missing the lemon or something! I love cherries and bought some yesterday to paint so hopefully I will have some cherry paintings on my blog soon! Thanks for your kind comments and encouragement on my new blog!

  3. Nicely painted! I love the delicate stem against the field of gray; it feels poetic, calligraphic...something difficult to put words to. No wonder it's visual! :)

  4. Aren't you the clever one... with the title of "One"! I like your version of the cherry; rich and dark against the neutral, grey background. I like it! Yes, I love King of Frames also.

  7. This is such a very nice (good!) sensitive painting! Love its simplicity and the way you handled the grays, deep color and volume on the cherry, shadows, edges . . . I wish I'd done it!!!!

  11. This is a gorgeous little cherry painting. It is a challenge to handle that much space with a small image and you did it!! Nice job!
