8x8 Oil on Canvas
Cheri Wollenberg
I love to paint pears. In art school we learn a great deal about composition...how it is constructed and classical views of how to create good composition. The artist wants to take the eye on a tour. The artist does this by employing the elements and principles of art to direct the viewers' eye. Sometimes we do it intentionally and sometimes is purely by accident.......an unconscious or natural tendency when creating a balance in the composition. The paisley is just a designers' name for a spiraling line of direction. Here I have a paisley design that is formed with the three golden pears winding from the
right edge of the canvas toward a turquoise cup on top of a brick in this painting. The background and foreground colors and textures are suppressed or are not significant, but was intended to complement the
composition. Please take the tour and give me your comments. This painting is listed in my Etsy shop.
