This is my third commissioned painting I have completed for my client who will be opening a home style Diner in Arkansas within a few months. This cherry pie painting is 16" x 20" on canvas.
My next and last painting will be something new for me.

This is my second pie painting in this small series of pie art. I pleaded with my wife to bake more cherry, blueberry and apple pies for the sake of art. She, a loving wife, comes to my rescue every time. As for me, I get to paint some one of my favorite desserts and at the same time, I get to chow on sweet pie (That's the life!).SOLD
This still life is a slice of apple pie that I am just nuts about. Between apple and cherry pie, I have one difficult time deciding which I enjoy the most to eat (my wife spoils me rotten). This still life is composed on a glass cut glass pie dish with a red delicious apple in the background.
I must admit, once my wife discovered I bought a cherry pie for a still life last week, she had to do me one better. She baked one of her classic cherry pies for me. She makes an awesome crust! I had to capture the taste and flavor of her fantastic pie. I really wanted to capture the transparency of the crust over laying the cherries and the dark rich color of cherries. The pie was to die for!

I must admit, my wife makes the best apple and cherry pie around. However, this pie was bought at a bakery - my bad. I wanted to try to capture the aluminum plate. I thought the red from the cherries and the cool tones would play well together. They do! I had fun painting this very expressive composition.
By the way, after my wife saw this painting, she immediately baked me a cherry pie - spoiled I know.
