A summer treat

This is one of my favourite summer treats, and the best way to eat them IMO is fresh off the tree!

Yes I agree, fresh from the tree is best ;)

These look like they have been well rinsed and are inside the house judging by the window reflections.

A nice pair (cherries that is) Frances..

Very tasty! :-bd

Nice touch with the reflection, Frances.

Thank you all.

I think those leaves are excellent Frances :)

Very, very nice indeed Frances.

You could take pity on lesser mortals, like myself, and teach us how you produced a masterpiece like that?!

A tutorial - or are you planning to eat it all by yourself?!
:cool:

Thank You John, the leaves are a combination of feathered vector shapes and a bitmap transparency. @Rik Maybe this would make a great tutorial. It will have to be a few days though because I have other stuff lined up first ( the kind of stuff that pays the bills).

Beautiful job Frances. Looks nice and tasty, as with everyone else I like the reflection. Great job. :cool:

I wish I had a tree of cherries in my backyard. They look delicious. I guess I'll have to be content with eating the wild blackberries that are just starting to ripen in my backyard. Tasty!

I agree with John, while the cherries are nice I'm really impressed with your leaf technique.

Well done,
Harry

Thank you ontos and Harry. I don't have a cherry tree in my back yard either, however my parents do and they live just a few minutes away from me :D

I have decided that I will see if Gary would like the cherry tutorial as a guest tut on the Xara Xone as it will be too long to post here on the forums. I've also decided that I'm going to tweak the drawing just a bit.

Great drawing Frances. Delicious looking cherries.

Nice! I especially like the way you've done the leaves.
