American (1948)
A bright, photorealistic still-life painting of a silver bowl full of cherries, perched atop a white marble surface.
The artist has taken immaculate care to preserve the shiny aspects of the fruit and bowl, and even captured it in the waxy surface of the leaves. Although oil is more commonly used in painting to achieve a translucent glow, Wildbank has managed the same effect using acrylic, a much more opaque material.
