Sweet Cherry Sprig (2026) Original Watercolour by Jian Ma (Jane M.)

In Sweet Cherry Sprig, I painted a cluster of cherries beneath a fan of green leaves. Long stems carry the eye down the page, from the overlapping fruit at the top to a single cherry below. Two cut halves reveal pink flesh and warm brown stones, while pale violet shadows soften the reds.

I used transparent washes of rose and crimson, leaving small touches of paper white to suggest the shine on the skins. The handwritten “Sweet Cherry” beneath the fruit gives the painting the feel of a page from a botanical sketchbook.

This is an original watercolour on 300 gsm, 100% cotton paper, signed and dated on the front. It is sold unframed and comes with a rigid card mount.
