Dwarf Cherry Tree in April 18"x24" Oil

I planted this cherry tree many years ago. It provides delicious cherries, but because it is a small tree, birds beat us to the fruit before it even ripens. We manage to get a handful of tasty cherries each season. Initially all the trees that I planted were either intended to produce fruit that we can use or the decorative type. The fruit trees took a lot of care to prevent diseases and insect damage and they, also, need yearly pruning. Their presence also beautifies our place and provides painting subject matter, and that, they do well, because I rarely tier painting them singly or in the orchard as a group.
