Red Pears

12 x 9 : oil on Belgian linen panel
SOLD (framed ... see photo below)

I'm sure these pears have a name but I can't for the life of me remember what it is (it was there on the sign when I bought them but in my dotage it has totally slipped my mind).
It made a nice change to paint something red but always a new challenge when painting something totally new to you.
The pear on the right was painted in a very high key at first and then glazed many times to get it to recede into the background (the old master influence creeping in there).

More paintings to follow ..... I didn't post any new work recently because I just wasn't happy with a lot of the work I was doing but I am hoping that the new paintings I am doing will set me in the right direction again (to be posted in the following weeks ... hopefully).

  1. Salve Paul, che atmosfera in questo quadro.......sembra che il tempo si è fermato come per magia, complimenti.
    Una curiosità: mia figlia non è un fiore però si chiama Selvaggia.
    Buon lavoro
    Un sorriso

  3. Luscious results, as always, Paul. Hope you get your art mojo back up to desired levels. Dissatisfaction can be such a great motivator.
