This painting is the first in a new series which explores food sayings – A Fish Out of Water, Easy as Pie, Nutty as a Fruitcake etc. These sayings in English have always struck me as quite quirky and very visual. They have also become part of everyday parlance to the extent that I had to research more about where the saying came from in the first place.
Whilst doing a series of still life cherry paintings, I considered sayings about cherries – Cherry Picking, the Cherry on Top of the Cake and the well-known song – Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries. The Cherry on Top of the Cake is an extra pleasing addition that completes a situation and makes a good thing even better. In this painting, I place the oversized cherry on a small bun. My intention is to do a series of similar popular sayings with a food theme.
This painting can be hung directly on a wall. I can also provide framing ideas and costs upon request.
