When I'm painting, songs and poems about the subject matter often flow through my mind. While painting these cherries, I was thinking about Billy Boy. I'm not sure who wrote the song, who Billy Boy was, or even if he could bake a pie. I have made a cherry pie. It is really time consuming; you have to pit every cherry. Maybe I need to turn up my music so my mind doesn't wander quite so much.

This painting looks very American to me with the red, white and blue. Maybe that's where "it's as American as cherry pie" came from: a patriotic painting!
