One Red Pear


5" x7" oil on panel

This painting is slightly out of focus even though I did use a tripod and the color is a bit stronger but it is pretty close. I have been shooting without a flash and using the zoom so that is probably knocking it out of kilter. Six attempts and I settled for the best of the lot. I'm not a big fan of still life painting; but, if you paint a daily before noon, your lunch is right in front of you.

7" x 9" oil on stretched canvas

I made the mistake of not doing a painting each day after a disappointingly light turn out at my studio for the Longmont Studio Tour. I busied myself with some volunteer work and just groused around until I realized I missed the brain activity of painting everyday.
I chose this small pumpkin and onion set because I loved how the colors look against the pink cloth; the reflected lights and shadows were especially fun to catch.
