"Reversed Pear"
6 x 6 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
I wanted to do another version of these pears this time having one reversed with the other facing the viewer. The skin of the pears have so much different textures to them, its neat trying to decipher it and translate it onto a painting. Their colors are also enjoyable to paint they have such a subtle transition from one color to another, from yellows to greens and to even burnt umbers its fun painting those blends.
I wanted to apologize for being away for so long without posting anything, the day after posting "Grandfather" I got into a really bad bicycle accident. I went over a curb and the front tire completely came out of my bike, I landed on the road hands first then hitting my ribs pretty bad. I was really lucky I didn't break anything I did scrape up my hands and feet pretty bad, my ribs have given me the worst pain out of it all. That accident occurred on a Tuesday and I left out of town on Wednesday until yesterday, so you can imagine how much i've been wanting to paint. I'm recovering well from the accident my ribs and left hand are still pretty sore, but I do feel better each day. I cannot express how happy I am today to finally get back into painting, I tried after the accident on Tuesday to paint but I was in to much paint to do so. Now I truly I mean it its time to get back to the painting easel and start producing, its been to long.
See the making of this painting on my blog:
i see what you mean by the subtle texture of colors between the pears. once you point that out, the differences appear stark. i can feel those pieces of fruit in my hand:)
