I am doing a series of produce in my glass bowls.  Here are some Michigan cherries. 

Our Michigan cherry crop was drastically reduced this year due to the bizarre weather.  I keep encouraging better ecological policies by joining environmental groups and writing to my legislators. I also drive a hybrid car, and recycle.  If those in charge would have acted more responsibly in formulating our energy policy, we might be in better shape. I hope that we can work to lessen the damage done to Mother Earth.

Beautiful summer produce inspired me to do this piece. These colorful peppers in a glass bowl shouted "delicious and joyful".
