Cherry Knife No.2

Cherry Knife No.2  |  16 x 16  |  Oil on canvas

With Precious Metal on the road to C. K. Gallery in San Francisco, I was in the mood to paint a smaller still life. I had a lot of images from the fishing knife and cherries shoot and was eager to paint another. I really like the pearly handle of the knife and the tarnished silver cup. Once it's dry and varnished, I'll be shipping it to C. K. as well. I wasn't able to show them much love in 2013 and plan to send them more soon, but my next painting will be a commission. It's possible that the next two paintings will be commissions, but once they're complete it's back to work for California.
