THE WHITE PITCHER

This is the final version...I  added a small berry towards the front and brightened the berries on the left.

This was more pleasing to me.

LATEST PAINTING: THE WHITE PITCHER 9X12 OIL ON PANEL

Received these wonderful , juicy pears as a gift from my son and daughter-in-law.  They are Harry and David blemished pears.  You literally have to eat them over the sink as they are SO juicy and have a marvelous taste! If you have never had any of their fruit...you don't know what you are missing.

Decided I had to paint them.  I worked on the set-up for 2 days.  I have more pears, a bird on the left, etc.
Would add, then take away.  Finally, my daughter (who is my best critic) said get rid of the bird....this is the result.

I plan to enter them in several contests..so we shall see how it goes.  Will keep you posted.

A PEAR-FECT DAY

I love painting fruit...it is so rewarding and fast.  This is painted on a 6x6 panel.(and I get to eat the fruit afterwards! )
I guess the easy feeling comes  from all those years of decorative painting.  We painted tons of fruit.  I will always prefer oils, though.
