Pear Still Life


I painted this picture on a whole sheet that was trimmed to create a longer format.  This painting was so frustrating!  The problem was I was trying to do a large picture with very dark darks using colors that were more opaque.  (burnt sienna, yellow ochre, indian red).  Every time I went in to correct something or make something darker, the paint lifted.  After trying over and over again I finally gave up and called it a learning experience.
