Day 12 - Likely Pear!

After my late night, early morning and SNOW.. I got home late afternoon to start my daily painting! Luckily the studio floor had dried. On the way home I did my food shopping and bought these lovely pears.
I have only ever painted pears in pastel, which I love doing! So using oils has been fun today! We had a wonderful time at my dear friend Irene's surprise 60th birthday party last night! Boy, was she surprised!!
My studio floor has dried so all I had left to do was paint along and under the counter and storage shelves. I started this after I got my pear painting finished of course! I was halfway through the floor when I realised that I was painting away from the door and trapping myself inside!!! Luckily I managed to squeeze myself under and over my plan chest, easels, trolley etc and start at the other end!
Tomorrow I plan to paint Cathy's subject suggestion with a floor connection!!

  4. I really, really like these pears - almost a Cezanne feel to them, which to my mind is a wonderful complement.

  5. Thank you Julie, you are very kind! I just thought about what colours I would use if I was using pastels! My day 13 painting is the opposite - quite detailed!It wasn't intentional, just happenened!

  6. Painted yourself into a corner, did you? I think I saw a cartoon once of Donald Duck doing the same thing to himself. ;)
