Cherry Tumble

(12 x 24", oil on canvas)

Generally, composition dictates format, but here, the horizontal canvas proved to be the inspiration for this piece. I like the back-and-forth play of horizontal movement — the light moving across the canvas from left to right, while the cherries tumble out of the jar in the opposite direction, from right to left.
