Apple

Doing an apple was a nice change. It still involved reds and similar shape to the cherry. This is Apple on Deck, acrylic on canvas (gallery wrap), 7" x 5", $100.

Triplets

Here's a small study of three cherries. This batch had multiple cherries attached to each other which surprised me. As a little girl we used to search out the sets and wear them as earrings. Triplets were a rarity. Triplets (Cherry Series #6), acrylic on canvas (gallery wrap), 5" x 7", $100.

More Cherries

This is also a 16" x 12", entitled Three to One (Cherry Series #4), acrylic on canvas (gallery wrap). I'm enjoying the play of the shadows as well as the shape of the fruit. After having painted this and the previous painting I have decided that I will make two more of this size as placed near each other they look good. Four together could be quite attractive. This one will also go to Cedar Street Galleries. sold

Cherry with Shadows

This is part of the group of paintings I started when I thought I'd try a painting a day. The cool part is that besides having all these pieces in the works suddenly I have all these paintings finished or near finished! I'm still just going to show one each day while continuing to start a new painting each day. This way a new piece will appear daily. For awhile all you're going to see is paintings of cherries with an apple thrown in.

This one is Cherry (Cherry Series #3), 16" x 12", canvas (gallery wrap), acrylic. This one will go to CSG. http://www.cedarstreetgalleries.com/bin/works.cgi?ManzioneIngrid

Cherry (Cherry Series # 5)

I've managed to start a painting a day as I had hoped. However, I don't seem capable of finishing them in one day. I end up with many canvases at various stages but it seems to be working out.

This one is part of a series I am doing on cherries. Cherry (Cherry Series #5), acrylic on canvas (gallery wrap), unframed, 8" x 10", $150.

A Painting A Day by Ingrid: Getting Started

This is going to be the discipline that I so need, painting and posting a painting each day, with Saturday and Sunday being days of leisure. My hope is to produce one small piece, each day, and post it for sale.

In the meantime I thought I'd show you a painting I did within the last year that I am pleased with. This is my youngest dog Hachi, at 6 months. The title is Naughty Hachi, for obvious reasons she is naughty. Hachi is the Japanese word for the number eight. She has a figure 8 on her hip plus the number eight is good luck, thus the name seemed to fit. This piece is acrylic on canvas and sells for $3,000. I really don't want to sell it but one must eat and pay rent.

Hopefully by Monday I will have my first small piece up and on the market. Well, here we go, time to paint...
