It's been so long since I posted anything! I've been painting almost every day but no time to sit at the computer. Yesterday I spent the whole day painting these three pears. It's 14"x18" and it was an exercise in painting with large brushes only and finishing in one sitting. That is extremely hard for me to do. I have to resist the urge to bring out the small brushes and put too many details in. I'm please with this one. I chose to paint the background green since it's the compliment to red but that is a tricky thing to do so that it doesn't look too Christmas-y. It might look Christmas-y but I like it anyway. I'm going to keep painting pears for a while. I'm sure it can only help to paint the same thing over and over. The challenge will be to keep them interesting.
