Day 22 - Disa Pear

The 

I'm drawn back to the shape of the pear, it is lovely.

Using these warm colors the pear disappears into the background. 

Day 11 - Pear Song

This morning I decided to make my under painting Cadmium Yellow Medium. I was in a hurry. Rather than putting the paint on my palette which I couldn't find after painting outdoors yesterday, I squeezed out the paint directly onto my board.  I rapidly buttered the Heavy Body paint over my board.  Hey look at all this texture, I thought. So, I led with texture today. Oh and still being in a hurry, it wasn't completely dry.  Maybe I should have labeled it Serendipity Pear!

6" x 6" acrylic on gesso board.

Day 10 - Glow Pear

I removed the colored cloth under the pear and cup leaving the white top. I wanted to see the shapes of the shadows more clearly and to see the reflected colors. 

This piece is 6" x 6" on gesso board.

Day 9 - Pear Balance

These pieces are 6" x6" on gesso board using acrylic paint.

I finished this last night and posted it this morning. I liked it better last night, hhhhmmmm.

So, that provides fuel for the fire for this mornings work! Now, where is that pear??

Day 8 - Similar Pairings

It seems easier to make the pear look realistic in the thumbnail drawing. I get carried away with the luxuriousness of the paint.  I'm finding the acrylic is drying before I'm finished. I need to use my spray bottle or use retarder with my paint.
