CHERRIES

CHERRIES
Those Little cherries were painted yesterday, just after  our arrival here, on the Lake;
I  had to buy them , at Safeway, in town, our Internet connection was not activated, and I had not the reference picture;I painted them in the afternoon, and had trouble with the shadows, after a while, of course,they changed, because it was a very sunny day...at the beginning, the shadows were weaker than the cherries, but at the end, completely the opposite;it's a lesson, nextime I won't paint a still life outdoors.
I am not sure the photo is as good as usual, but I ‘d like to participe to the Rookie Painter challenge!

Oil on canvas board 5X7
Very soon, we are going to navigate on the Lake of the Woods, and I have to remind me of the way to join our island!this year, I had to pass my boat license,I was able to have the examination on Internet, but they forgot to send the  card to my home, in france, so I only have temporary one, waiting for the right one in a few weeks.
Hope I won’t be arrested!
