Christmas cherries

Christmas Cherries, Michael Steele, 2021

Here’s the illustration I made for my Christmas cherries card. In New Zealand, December marks the start of cherry season. Such a delicious fruit with a stunning deep rich red colour. I added a sprig of pink cherry blossom flowers to this illustration as cherry trees are also known for their stunning pink and white flowers. I’d love to travel to Japan during the cherry blossom season, looking at photos online it looks remarkable.
