Pears in Blue Bowl


I'm trying something new for a change. I'm going to paint large and loose keeping in mind what I've learned about Sargent and his brushstrokes and edges. This painting is 14"x18" which I guess isn't that large but the subjects are oversized. I bought these beautiful pears, set them up and painted them from life. I stood looking down on them so that explains the angle. I probably won't do that again so not to confuse the viewer. I'm working on another one now that I will post hopefully tomorrow. It will be pears again but I find them to be very interesting to paint.
