After this card, I’ll be caught up on my weekly card paintings.  Well, actually, I have one more to do for this week, but I’ll post that on Saturday!  This card is inspired by the bag of cherries I was eating while painting a new mini-pet painting (still working on it). Cherries are interesting to paint.  They are such a deep red/purple/blue color.  I also had a pretty intense lamp pointing on my canvas, so the lighting is dramatic. I painted this in acrylic, which I’m still learning to paint with.  I showed this card to a friend of mine and she said it looked like a rotting apple with a worm coming out of it.  I love my friends. 🙂   It is supposed to be a cherry with a stem; although rotting apples would make an interesting painting I’m sure.
