I would love to learn to paint a cherry the way you do.
I need to know how to think about it which I approach a piece of fruit. How to
create the three dimensional quality with dark going into light.

You sreally know how to approach the subject matter.
A lovely solution.

I think one of your secrets is never to overdo
the painting everything is understated leaving
the eye to be excited .....

I love the painting, the contrast in values,
and especially the way you painted the
cherries, the colors are perfect. It's just lovely.
Your "postcards" get me out painting almost
every day, I look forward to them.

Painter’s notes

Cherries are still in full swing here, the cherry seller's little green painted roadside stall is a permanent fixture on the route back and forth to the village
