6x8 Oil on Canvas

Decorative gourds have a long shelf life so I can count on using them as subjects for several weeks. The possibilities for creative and different compositions are endless. I enjoyed placing this red vase with these two particular gourds. The "warts" on gourds are a lot of fun to paint too. I scooped up a lot of paint for each one of them....sort of like frosting a cake with thick icing.....enjoyed myself immensely!

Hi, Cheri,
I feel your joy pouring from the beautiful painting. Oh, the vase looks so gramous like a queen or a king.
Cheers, Sadami
Beautiful!I like the vases's gloss, and it's color!
The red vase is a perfect foil for the gourds, might grow some in my garden next year as you can't buy them here, they make wonderful subjects to paint. Lovely composition too.
What a perfect autumn painting. The colors are so rich, and the darks against the lights are very striking. I also like how everything is packed within the borders - nothing cropped. It adds a quaintness to it.
Lovely composition, Cheri. Enjoy your day.
Love those smiling colors
and textures and lines:)
And the vase....
my mother got one very much
like one Autumn and we filled
it with beautiful things
....feathers and flowers and
even weeds we found pretty.
Such memories.....
thanks:)
