My Kingdom IV Painting

In this series titled My Kingdom the figures and landscapes are fantastical, there are no rules or boundaries. The women are in unconventional poses and dress. They often appear in striped or polka dotted tights, which are patterns that Cherres often uses in his compositions. The landscapes and backgrounds are equally unexpected adding to the imaginary feeling of each canvas. This figurative work depicts a young woman seated and leaning back in an imaginary landscape. A cool palette of colors form an abstract backdrop. Cherres uses his recurrent stripes to break up this composition of mostly organic shapes. This is a square mid-size (34 x 32 inches) oil painting on a stretched canvas titled "My Kingdom IV." Canvas is stretched on wooden strips and is ready for framing or to be displayed as is. This painting is signed 'cherres' in the lower right corner.
