"Door Co Cherries" is a delightful piece that captures the vibrant essence of cherry-picking season. Measuring 7 x 5 inches, this artwork is meticulously crafted using colored pencils on green paper. The scene is dominated by a cluster of cherries hanging lushly from a tree branch, rendered in deep, rich shades of red and burgundy. Subtle variations in light and shadow imbue the cherries with a three-dimensional, lifelike quality.

The background plays an equally significant role, featuring lush green leaves that are intricately detailed in various shades of green. This not only adds depth and texture but also emphasizes the natural beauty and vivid colors of the cherries and foliage. The overall composition is a harmonious blend of colors and details, producing a piece that feels both vibrant and serene.

The inspiration behind this artwork is a morning in the cherry orchards of Door County, where the sun begins to warm the landscape just in time for cherry-picking season. The imagery evokes the joy of filling a bucket with fresh, dew-kissed cherries, capturing the simple yet profound pleasure of engaging with nature. This artwork is a beautiful tribute to the season's bounty and the idyllic charm of a cherry orchard.
