Two Sickel Pears on Wood Block


oil on linen on board / 6x6" / sold


How this painting will look framed:


Two Sickel Pears on Wood Block was a challenge to paint. I thought the left pear would have been more difficult to paint, since it was positioned on its side-I was thinking with my left brain! As I painted by looking at the masses of color, it came together-using my right brain!

I also softened the back edge so that it would recede into the background. The front of the pear was brought forward with the addition of highlights.
