Original artwork description:

'Cherry Pi' is part of his very popular 'Pun' Series and has become a sub series aptly names the 'Pi' Series. In this series he uses the symbol for the mathematical symbol for 'Pi' as a double-entendre for the dessert. After much thought the artist incorporated the pi symbol in the actual shape of the two cherries, stems and leafs.

From his "Series of Pun Paintings". In his 'pun paintings' he deconstructs the English language by use of the pun. He was once told “it isn’t what you paint, but how you paint it.” Ryan became bound and determined to prove that statement wrong. In his work, it is not only about what he paints but the way in which it is painted. His Pun Paintings appeal to him personally for the humorous aspect and the witty form of intellectual play. Collectors of Ryan's work have expressed how much they love living with his work, every time they see it, it makes them happy and smile and ready for whatever activity is next on the agenda.
