Pears on Red



In this painting I was working to create shapes that would construct the form of the pear. I wanted to work with vibrant color and chose the red piece of silk that I had stashed away in my piles of fabric. I felt pretty good with the results but it took many tries before I felt that I was actually seeing the shapes correctly. I have found that there is so much to learn that I have to bite off small bits of information at a time.

Beautiful pears, Linda. You made a great choice in using the red silk. I like how your brush strokes show the planes of the pears. Beautiful color choices, too.

We all have lots to learn - no matter where we are on our art journey. For me, that is one of the paths I welcome!

I like the way you aced all the values yet but did them in vivid colors. Very energizing and dynamic!

I like the very strong contrast of complementaries in the red/green color scheme, Linda.I feel a repeat rhythm in the fact that there are three pears and three horizontal layers (pinkish layer, pear layer and red layer).

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
