SUNFLOWERS AND CHERRIES

This was the result of a monthly challenge in our watercolor group, WNW. It was the first time I'd ever painted cherries, and I LOVED it. So much fun! The sunflowers gave me the opportunity to add some very complimentary greens.

Cherries and Chocolate Cake

10 x 7 inches, watercolor, 2010.

This was painted for the Watercolour's Wet 'n' Wild February challenge. We were provided with several black and white photos of different objects (all with different light sources!) and were asked to choose 3 - 5 elements from the photos to make a composition. I decided on a cherry theme with red and green dominating the colour scheme.
