January 21 Wine Glass and Cherry


The plan was to paint a wine glass. Simple and sweet with a quick background. And so it progressed. But when the wine glass was finished and that simple shadow was in place, it just called for a little zing of color. I decided a simple cherry tomato would be perfect. After the reds and highlights were in place, it turned into a cherry with a nice one stroke stem. I threw in the cherry's shadow and then opted to put a companion cherry in the glass. Then the glass needed a little liquid. But that was enough. Period.
