End of Cherry season

A few weeks ago I was at the grocery and grabbed one of the last bags of cherries for the season to paint. I love the red cherries in the green jadite dishes and I love the challenge of painting things in the background out of focus!

Down to the wire...


I am working diligently on finishing up the last few pieces for our trip south at the end of the month.  Having said that, I was able to sneek a few days to do two smaller works that will be auctioned off at the Veggie Institute dinner, created by the amazing Chef Tony Dee, on October 27!  http://www.culinaryvegetableinstitute.com/cvi_cms/129.html  The proceeds from the monthly dinners go toward a program that teaches kids where the food and veggies they eat come from. It's a great event for a great cause!!  If you'd like to bid on these, let me know and I will pass your bid along!

BTW, I loved painting these veggies and can't wait to do more!
