In case you didn't know, I live in Southern California -- the "Inland Empire" to be exact. There is a small unincorporated community about thirty minutes from my location named Cherry Valley. They have a wonderful cherry festival every year. I remember going to it once or twice when I was a teen. I kept Cherry Valley in mind as I worked on this piece.
I had a lot of fun painting my trees. I learned a lot from the tutorial. The artist did a nice job explaining the technique. I'm excited to try this technique again. I think autumn colors would look nice.
Enjoy!

You did a wonderful painting of the cherry trees. How fortunate you are to live so close to a place where they have a Cherry Festival and I am sure Cherry Valley is beautiful when the trees bloom. I see some good shadows under those trees, too. You are right, this would be a good tutorial for painting Fall trees.

Oh, how lucky that you have cherry trees about 30 minutes from you! I love seeing pictures of them. Your cherry trees are so beautiful! Great job with the shadows!

Yes autumn would work so well too. I was going to say what a perfect title for your card, not realizing there is a Cherry Valley. I'd like to live there. Lovely creation!
