Still Life with Cherries by NY artist, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

Life's a Bowl of Cherries by Pamela Blaies
Bowl of Cherries
5" x 7"
oil on linen
SOLD
I love to paint cherries, but had a hard time getting my hands on any to paint over the winter and spring. The other day I was so excited when I found them at the market. I promptly bought 2 bags - one to eat and one to paint. Then I went on a little cherry painting binge. "Bowl of Cherries" just sold, but check my daily paintworks gallery to see more cherry paintings!

Cherry Red by Pamela Blaies
18" x 24"
My beautiful hydrangeas, which were very pink just a couple of weeks ago, are fading into a subtle green. Their soft lines are the perfect contrast to the colors and textures of the fresh fruit and white creamer. I've been wanting to include cherries in a still life and this seemed to be the perfect fit. Their deep, rich red tones help to bring all of the colors together for nice harmony.
