Cherry Blossom Oil Sketch - SOLD

Cherry Blossom Sketch
Oil on Linen Panel, 8" x 8"
SOLD

My large easel is out for repair right now. Over the years, my oils and solvents had corroded the little shelves where the paintings were propped, so a handyman at church is building me some new canvas perches. All that by way of telling yu that the little blue shadow on the left is from my plein air easel, which has little metal prongs to hold canvas.

I have a commission for cherry blossoms, and did something I'm not sure about, so I thought I'd play on a used canvas, nonthreatening. The demise of the little watermelon piece. Sweet, isn't it?

Here and there are small touches of color; the sycamores on the way to the library are already ochre.
So, here's a little fall preview.
