Here is my first small painting of cherries and lace from the numerous photographs I took last week. I painted it yesterday and I kept it very simple: no background, a small portion of lace only with a bit of my hardwood flooring peaking through. It is about 8" X11" and matted at 12" X 15"; it could also be cropped for a square look of 8 X8", cutting out the white on either side of the lace.
I enjoyed painting this and will definitely paint some more complex one with the same elements.
What do you think?
What do I think??? Magnifique! C'est bon!
ReplyDeletebeautiful reds against this stark white...wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDeb,merci! I am glad you like this.
ReplyDeleteCynnie, thank you. I hope that you will visit often.
Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you should do a series of these beauties. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting. The light on the cherries captured nicely. You can go ahead for more complex one with similar elements.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mollie - I think a series is in order. It really is a little beauty !
ReplyDeleteWhat do I think? well the lace is great but what really grabbed me was the strong shadows of the cherries and their stalks. Wonderful. Think I would prefer it square without the extra side areas of white though. Look forward to seeing more lacework in future paintings.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Christiane. Wonderful job on the cherries and the lace.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, for the great support, Vicki, Mollie,D.D., Joan and Ann.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly try to go for a series.
This is beautiful Christiane, your should keep going in this direction :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Krista. Your comments mean a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteYou hit my Achilles heel with this piece, as a huge part of my background is realism, so detail to me is heaven.
ReplyDeleteThe cherries and the lace are perfect. Oh yeah, paint more.
These cherries are worth to be bitten. Congrats
ReplyDeleteChristiane! It's a complex painting...red against white, lace work, light/shade, there are lots of elements here. Love your composition, it's great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting! The cherries and and lace are wonderful, but the glimpses of the hardwood flooring showing through with the shadows from the lace are superb! You have a good thing going here and this is calling for larger brothers and sisters paintings! :-)
