This new additon to the Cherry collection is also on a special effect background…the ripe round sweetness of the fruit looks even more luscious against the old metal can with it’s rivulets of rust.

I paint in many different styles and feature a myriad of subject matter, which I show as individual collections….
I am inspired by the world interpreting it in brilliant colours, often influenced by the writings of famous authors and poets..

I love your cherry work, Janis. I am always intrigued by your ability to paint so realistically. I have never been good at that. Added to my favs..beautiful!
Thank you so much Lisa…I tend to break rules though, especially when it comes to light…painters like Rembrandt placed light anywhere they wanted to illuminate the subject and I admire that style very much…..painting realistically means using your inner eye…I generally don’t have anything in front of me…e.g. I have no cherries sitting on my table while I paint….I remember being told when I was learning to paint the chinese way, that chinese painters don’t paint from a subject, but from what is remembered…I have been doing that ever since…it stops me from being too literal or hyperreal which can end up looking flat…
