Ah the fabled cherry—the poetic color of luscious lips, and just as sweet. It started out in West Asia (perhaps the Persia-Armenia region) and in two varietals from which all cultivated cherries are descended: Prunus avium (sweet) and Prunus cerasus (sour).

Sweet cherries had spread to Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean by 300 BCE, for Theophrastus mentions them. And Pliny the Elder (1st century AD) mentions that some 8 varieties of cherries were being cultivated in Italy—and that the Romans were spreading them as far north as Britain. The British, in turn, carried it to the New World in the 17th century (Beyond the huge crops in Michigan, California, Oregon, and Washington, American wild cherries include the chokecherry, the pin cherry, and the wild black cherry. Sour cherries have spread even farther north, and are a speciality of Germany and Scandanavia.

Today it is estimated that some 900 sweet varieties (ranging in color from yellow to black) and some 300 sour varieties are being grown. Most sweet cherries will produce fruit only after they’ve been cross-pollinated—honey bees usually do the leg work, carrying pollen from a sweet cherry of another variety soupsong.com

  • bevmorgan

    bevmorgan

    This is stunning, Janis. I love how some of the edges fade and some are so defined. A truly beautiful watercolour.

  • Janis Zroback replied

    You know how it is Bev, with watercolours… some days it is a big fight, and some days everything just flows as if it were meant to be… this was one of those days… I don’t know why, because I had no heat in the house, my hands were frozen, I was exhausted, and the furnace man was making an incredible racket while I painted… I just kept pouring water on the painting, he just kept passing by and saying “that looks great”... I felt like saying “no thanks to you”.. :))
    In the end I was very happy with the results… it just goes to show that we can paint under any conditions…
    Thank you so much Bev…I am really pleased you like it…

    So many poems-and paintings-that use the striking imagery of the cherry…for love, for color, for sweetness, for analogy, for spring and renewal. Thomas Campion’s mistress has “a garden in her face,/ Where roses and white lilies grow;/ A heav’nly paradise is that place,/ Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow./ There cherries grow, which none may buy/ Till ‘Cherry ripe’ themselves do cry” (Fourth Book of Airs, 1617).soupsong.com

    When he was by, the birds such pleasure took,
    That some would sing, some other in their bills
    Would bring him mulberries and ripe-red cherries

    Linda Callaghan

    oh yes Janis…loooove those cherries! the colours, soft brush strokes with the melting edges is making my mouth melt!

  • Janis Zroback replied

    These cherries seem to have turned out to be a universal favorite… the man fixing my furnace kept looking over my shoulder and commenting on the progress… it was not the best situation in which to paint, because he was making lots of noise, banging and clanging, the house was freezing and my hands were really cold… but I’m happy with the way they turned out despite the conditions under which I painted them…I am really pleased you like Linda… thanks so much…

  • Janis Zroback

    Janis Zroback

    “Not” is the name of the type of surface the paper has, and refers to the fact that it is Not rough and Not smooth…it is a term used by paper makers and goes back centuries…

  • Janis Zroback replied

    Food painting is my main “thing”...I enjoy painting food in all it’s guises, but I also do landscape and abstracts etc… you will see as you go through the pages, I paint in many different styles, depending on the series I’m working on at the moment….lately I’ve been collaboratinig with Diette Henderson and doing painted versions of her photos…

    Delicious is right. It’s making me hungry. It must be rewarding to think your paintings can evoke such a response in people.

  • Janis Zroback replied

    Thank you so much Marilyn…this was one of those spontaneous ideas that happens to all artists, and the painting seems to flow from your brain out of your fingers….I had a furnace man here while I was painting constantly looking over my shoulder while I did this one and commenting, instead of fixing the furnace…
    I like it so much that I put it into the gallery in Watercolour Artist mag to plug RB this summer…
