Love this painting of one of my favourite fruits.  I am very tired

tonight after painting and teaching.  And I just finished a bowl of

cherries.  Delicious.

Sometimes creative people are so caught up in their ideas that they

have trouble sleeping.  I am one of those people, and if you as

fellow creative people do too, I discovered some interesting news.

Pure tart cherry juice (not from concentrate) has great sleep 

inducing properties.  And the delicious type of cherry in the painting

can add to the sleep inducing power of the juice.  I've been eating 

cherries for the past week, and sleeping like a baby.  

I'm on a deadline with my art, and some other projects, so I can

get wired, and restless ridiculously easily. A glass of cherry

juice, and some cherries, and I calm down.  I know you

are going to recommend everything from whiskey, to

the famous weed.  But this works for me.  Wishing

you a creative life, and peaceful sleeps.
