Thank you so much, Mariano! I wanted to give the cherries a brightness where the light projected a luminosity within. The green helps that process of course, and the blue offers a cooler balance in support of the main subject as you so keenly observed! Jeanne
Your paintings are beautiful! I have to agree with Mariano. The reds in the cherries give depth and form and the greens - wow! Just lovely. I'm looking forward to visiting your blog again and again!
Thank you SO much, Linda! My study of the Dutch masters' works was a partial inspiration for this painting. So often their cherries and other berries seemed to almost glow in the light, which I tried to achieve here. I'm so glad you found my blog. Thanks, Jeanne
Thank you SO much, Celeste! The composition and color together are what define this particular painting. I wanted to make a bold statement with color so the composition needed to be up to it! Thank you for your lovely comments. Jeanne
Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteHi Jeanne,
ReplyDeletethis oil generates a lot of exitement. I love the battle between the reds and greens, supported by a cool blue bowl!
