Today's post is a painting that I reworked from a study I did at Nancy Franke's workshop. I never felt good about the bottle in the original for a couple of reasons. The bottle was too similar to the pear shapes and I painted it too close to the edge of the canvas. This is painted on an 8 x 10" linen panel that has to be framed so it was a very real factor. I was happy with the way I painted the pears so I am pleased that I found a nice solution.

This weekend I am participating in Art on the Lake. It is an art show benefitting
Children's Harbor . Children's Harbor provides a retreat for children that are struggling through serious illnesses. The art show is on the campus of Children's Harbor and the artists are set up alongside Lake Martin . Patrons come by car and boat. This is the 10th year for this show and my fifth to participate. 20% of our sales goes to support Children's Harbor so come on out if you are in the area. Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-2.
I think you found a great solution, too! It's a wonderful painting. And best of luck at the show!
