I've filled in details and painted in the background color. The green wash is just underpainting to help me see which of the leaves are not going to end up cream-colored.
Haven't been keeping up with your painting but I received your Christmas card today and it was so fun to see the cherries in person after watching you work on them via this blog.
I hope we'll see each other in the next week or so to celebrate the season together in person.
I like to share work in progress, random foodie notes (since I've written two cookbooks and illustrated others), and occasional past work from different periods of my 40+ years of drawing and painting.
