These pears have turned a beautiful golden color after a couple of weeks on my still life table. Pears are always a good go to after I have been away from painting for a week or so. I concentrated on standing as far away from the easel as I could and keeping a very light hold on my brush. And.....squinting! Nothing beats the shape and colors in pears. This is painted on a 5 x 7" linen canvas.Don't forget to sign up to receive an e mail when I post. I will draw a winner of the painting "great white" from the new subscribers.sold
Hi, Carol! I saw your work recently at Stonehenge Gallery in Montgomery - I have work there, too! I loved your work and now I just found your blog through Carrie Waller's blog. Beautiful pears! I'm jumping back in today, too - after being away from painting for about a week! Nice to be back in a bit of a routine! Happy New Year & hope to meet you one day!

ReplyDeleteLovely quiet feel to this . . . delicate but distinct brushstrokes and love the muted colors.
