Today I Learned: Background inversion.

Again while I am busy preparing for my exhibit "Where We Live" (which opens to the public this Friday, September 24th at the CVA)... I will keep up with the cherry theme by posting previous work from the Door County Cherry Series.  For those of you making a trip to beautiful Door County (oh boy the fall colors!), please stop by the Paint Box Gallery to see all my miniatures.  The folks at Paint Box do an amazing job of framing my little gems, yet still so affordable!

Here in my color choices, I decided to take that lovely contrasting green of a background and place it on the table, so to speak.  I enjoy doing "portraits" of fruits and veggies as opposed to traditional still life.  Stay tuned...
