The Trio Pastel 9" x 5"
It's the day after Christmas and we walked into the studio and felt like we hadn't been in the studio in ages. Cindy and I were both cranky and tired. Thirty minutes of conversation and then it was time to paint. Neither of us were ready to take on big and serious compositions. Cindy did a minature still life and I went for the pears. As I have mentioned before it is easy for me to take myself too seriously and it often leads to frustration. The past couple weeks, I have looked at each piece as an experiment and I've attempted different approaches. The pears are a result of laying broad strokes of color in and playing with the edges. I was fairly pleased with the results since I came in with a rather poor attitude. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
I love your pears! The shadows on the pears pull your eye right across the piece. Great negative shapes too! Keep going girl!
