"Nanking Cherries" Original Watercolor Painting
Title: Nanking Cherries
Year: 2025
Watercolor on Paper
Size: 8×10 inches, framed to 11×14
Nanking cherries look visually different from tart cherries when you look at their stems and how they connect to the cherry tree. Where tart cherries and most other cherry varieties have a long stem that connects the fruit to the branch, nanking cherries have a very short stem, making the fruit look like bunches growing out of the branches. To paint these nanking cherries, I painted each cherry with 3 different layers. I added a bright blue sky to contrast the bright red of the berries.
This original watercolor painting is featured in the book, “Just One Comfrey”, a Counting book by Wisconsin Food Forests. The book is scheduled to be released July, 2025. It features edible plants that grow well in Wisconsin’s climate. Some are edible for human consumption, while others are edible only for critters and birds that call Wisconsin home.
This original watercolor painting was painting using Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches cold-pressed paper. Using professional supplies means your painting will stay brilliant and colorful for years. It also comes signed, with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is matted and framed. (wooden frame with a linen double mat, glass, with hanging wire for easy hanging).
***Framed pieces will only be available for local pickup. If you need this painting mailed to you, it will come un-framed, but still custom matted. ***
