RainierCherries



This one is going into my "stack of stuff" finished pile this afternoon. There was a bit more to do with the reflections here and there and also finishing the base of the glass since my last post. My "Painting Friends" buddy, Judy Buckingham, from Oregon is a rainiers cherry expert and she tells me that the cherries are not quite this red, but she'll forgive me...after all...they started out as Bings... I love how we artists can change our minds in mid stream. I'm pleased with the clean crystal facets on the glass...it's always fun when you like something you paint.

    It looks fab Mollie!
    I wouldn't know a Rainier from a Bing, so I just see a fabulous painting of a crystal glass with scrumptious cherries. :)
    I think your stack of stuff needs an international holiday :) :)

    Hi Mollie... how are you?
    I don´t know why I didn´t follow your blog earlier!!!!!!!!
    I miss you so much... I have stopped painting for a long while... life was very very hard... it still is, but I am back to painting for a few months now... it kind of keeps me sane... and I am inspired again by my work in the theatre, there is so much beauty around me ...
    Love your work , as always, great colours and execution
    take care

    Thanks, Mary...you know how much I love to paint glass.

    Oh, Jamila...I have wondered what had happen to you so many times...I so admired your work on PaintingFriends. Sure wish you had time to come back on...we're all still there and still painting up a storm. So happy that you are painting again...

    The transparency of the crystal is spectacular! This is something I never tried, and wouldn't know where to start :-))
    All your paintings are just fab!
