Cherries and Chocolate Cake

10 x 7 inches, watercolor, 2010.

This was painted for the Watercolour's Wet 'n' Wild February challenge. We were provided with several black and white photos of different objects (all with different light sources!) and were asked to choose 3 - 5 elements from the photos to make a composition. I decided on a cherry theme with red and green dominating the colour scheme.

Spent most of the week battling a nasty cold but felt well enough today to create this handsome chap - obviously the snow and ice is making me long for blue skies and warmer climes.
