Golden Pears and Blue Mug

6x8 Original Oil Painting

This is the second of several pear paintings that I've worked on in the last several days.  I'm still having a little trouble finding the right area in my new home to get just the right light for documented imaging.  The cup is one that I made in a pottery class several years ago.  I kept thinking that I needed to place it with something and the gold pears were the perfect companions for it.  To buy this painting you can go to my Etsy shop here.

This still life oil painting features juicy, golden pears against dark brown and rust colors.  I will probably take a better image later.  It is still wet and I am trying to find a good "picture taking spot" in the farm home we just moved to.....hence the wet surface caught more light than intended.  I have suffered "creativity withdrawal" since we've been here.  We have worked non-stop getting my studio ready to move more things from our previous home.  Today, I could bear it no longer.  I took out some photos that I had taken of fruit and decided to do a few pear paintings.  It felt so good to get the brushes out, squeeze the paint onto the palette, and transfer the rich colors to the canvas support with my brushes (lovely experience!).  I've already started the other one.  It will be tomorrow's post.  If you are interested in this painting as your own, you can click Golden Pears.
