My Kingdom VII 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 painting is bold both in composition and in color. Cherres fearlessly places the figure in the center of the canvas, then paints her in a strong citron yellow dress. He uses a complementary toned-down palette for the abstract background, creating a visually pleasing result. This is a square oil painting on a stretched canvas titled "My Kingdom VII." 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 left corner.
