I'm going to post at least two paintings a week...minimum. Most will be 5"x 7" to keep things small, but like the first one...they will vary. I'll be including a link to Ebay to bid on these. Any that don't sell will be designated on this blog, and can be purchased for the minimum of $100.00

Pear- SOLD -(Click here to see auction results on eBay)
SOLD
This was harder to paint than I thought it would be. First I couldn;t decide how to handle the background. Originally there was a blurry outside scene of our back deck, and I changed it to a simple value and hue...several times matter of fact. Then I didn't establish the right amount of darkness on the pear. Images can fool you into thinking they are light and bright. The pale greenish yellow on the top of the pear is actually pretty deep in value but the photograph makes you think it's nearly white. Click on the image for a larger view.
Nice composition, Mick...well balanced and well painted.
ReplyDeleteHi Mick, I love this painting! I like how you chose to use an indistinct gray neutral background. Nice contrast to the vibrant colors and wonderful realism of the pear. Your attention to detail is remarkable! Thank you for adding me to your Sidebar. I added you to mine also. Wishing you the best, Connie Tom
ReplyDeleteHi Mick,
ReplyDeleteI love these pears and this one is good enough to eat. Thanks for your encouragement too.
