Long Stemmed Beauties
(24" x 18", oil on canvas)

I have chosen to present this ever-popular subject in an almost formal fashion. Setting the white bowl on a generous amount of rich red elevates this simple fruit out of the everyday and into a cosmopolitan treat. Rainier cherries often have extra long green stems and here I have used them to advantage to add movement to this otherwise quiet composition.
