This painting is one of my favorites that I have painted in the challenge. I love the dark parts of the cherries and the empty bowl. I am still working to improve my composition skills and some days setting up a still life seems easier than others.

I am still enjoying the big bag of cherries I bought; they are delicious and great fun to paint. They are like little jewels when a light shines on them they really come alive. This group seems to be playing a game and so far only two have managed to get inside the bowl. Not sure what the strategy is but it looks like one more is getting close!

I bought this bowl about a year ago to use for painting and this is the first time I've painted it. Setting up good still life combinations is not easy, but I am happy with the simplicity of this and the fact that it fills the square format so well.

I love the dark shadows on the turquoise cloth and I always love painting stripes on anything.
