Cherry O Baby
Coloured pencil 16 x 7cms
I felt like doing something colourful and painterly so I had a go at these cherries. Until I actually came to draw them I didn't realise just how many reds and purples there were! Guess what my favourite colours are?
Hi Cathy, Fun cherries! What makes this composition special for me is how you cropped it. Long and narrow is different and helps to accentuate the curves. Festive!

What gorgeous, juicy colors. Great piece.
These are beautifully done. I really like the look of colored pencils and you've captured the look of real cherries so well and now I'm hungry.

Peggy - I'm glad you like the crop, I thought it went well with the curves too :)
Dear Cathy, these cherries really look juicy and colourful. Looking at your beautiful drawing I can almost feel their flavour!
What an exciting and creative approach to cherries! It's a real inspiration.
Yummy cherries with a subtle watery bkgnd. NICE
Looks great! I love cherries!
I too love the colour of cherries - the colour of my new car is 'morello'!!
