These cherries are checking out their reflections! 

There was originally a spoon in this photo reference, but I took it out and added cherries to match the lovely reds in the jelly. Thanks to Sarah Sedwick for her generosity - she's always supplying awesome photos to work from.

I finished planting my garden today! It was the perfect weather for it - not a cloud in the sky and there was a constant breeze. Ahh. The circle of spring.

This pretty pattern is actually the top of a hat box. I placed the silver cup and cherries on it and just loved the way the flowers reflected in the cup. Everything swoops up to the side!

Here's a pic of my last painting with it.

These cherries are having a little look-see at their reflections in the silver pot. Looking Good!

(I decided to switch up the perspective and go with a high angle today.)

polka dot reflections

SOLD

I had a blast figuring out the many reds in this little set up. The warmth of the red glass and the little polka dots challenged me for hours! The sides are painted pink too. Also with little polka dots. : )

Pics below show my process and my materials.

I've only got a few more days to capture the Cherry Blossom Trees. It's always a race against time during the two week blossoming of these gorgeous trees!

I love the look of a dark ink line when painting something light and delicate like a cherry blossom tree. It gives a nice strong contrast. Also, it came in handy when drawing the dog's hair. : )

It's that time of year again! The cherry blossom trees are happening. They last about 2 weeks so you have to capture them quick.

Another lovely Cherry Blossom Tree. A few more days and they'll be gone... until next year.

I enjoyed yesterday plein-air painting at the University of Toronto campus. My eye caught this beautiful little Sakura tree next to a cute bicycle with a basket. Couldn't resist!

The beautiful Cherry Blossom trees, called Sakuras, are only in bloom for two weeks. This lovely row is behind the University of Toronto library, and there are more in High Park and at the Toronto Island. Lots more to paint!
