Marguerites and Cherries

9 by 12 -inch on 140 lbs. Kilimanjaro 

This still life is painted after challenge no.76 from my favorite painting challenge blog, A nos pinceaux . I was so captured by the luscious, red cherries but was a bit intimidated of painting so many of them. I also wanted to capture the delicate white petals of the marguerites. Eventually, the desire to paint the still life overcame my hesitation.So here it is! I took my time painting; pausing in between to study the painting to see if anything is amiss. I edited a bit from the reference photo to suit my taste.All in all, I am happy with the result. Thanks Evelyn for providing such a wonderful still life!
