Another great still life. I love the richness of colour and the contrast between the glossy and matt surfaces. Wonderful paint handling.

Marcia Thompson

The cherries are, as always, amazing, but the leaves - they leap off the page (okay, screen) and beg to be touched. Incredible visual texture.

Sandra Wood

I love everything about this painting. The color, style, contrast, all draw the eye and make you want to drink it in.

Thanks so much for brightening my day.

Absolutely alive with amazing depth. I do so love your "fruit branch" paintings!

Alain

It is as though I was in front of a noble cygnet silently strolling about on a mysterious lake, in the moonlight.Striking!

When you look at this and compare it to some of the 2005 still lives you see how far you've come and developed. This is masterful and really inspiring.

Painter’s notes

Illicit cherries, picked while sending Louis to sleep on the afternoon pram walk (they were overhanging the road)
