Kissing Cherries - Original Oil Painting - 4.7x4.7 inches

A sweet, vibrant connection captured in thick, luscious oil paint.

"Kissing cherries" is an intimate and high-energy original oil painting that celebrates the simple beauty of summer fruit. The composition features two plump, deep burgundy cherries leaning into one another, their bases touching in a "kiss". Their bright green stems arch upwards, reaching toward the top of the frame with expressive, confident strokes.

What makes this piece truly vibrate is the skyblue underpainting. This cool base layer peeks through the thick impasto brushwork of the background and the fruit, creating a beautiful contrast with the warm reds and oranges of the cherries. The surface is alive with bright white and light blue highlights that give the fruit a glossy, succulent appearance.

Painted on a petite 12x12 cm (approx. 4.7x4.7 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this artwork showcases Alai’s signature technique. The heavy application of paint gives the cherries a sculptural quality, making this small gem a perfect pop of color for a kitchen, a bar cart, or a cozy corner in your home.

Why this original is a sweet pick:

• Vibrant Underpainting: The skyblue base layer provides an internal luminosity that makes the red pigments feel even more intense and modern.
• Textural Impasto: Visible, thick brushstrokes define the roundness of the fruit and the energy of the background, inviting the eye to explore the surface.
• Complementary Colors: The interplay between the rich reds, vivid greens, and cool blue tones creates a balanced yet high-energy visual experience.
