Painting - Oil On Canvas

Description

The light reflecting off of a single pear inspired this minimalist composition. The contrast of light and dark and the reflecting green on the table encouraged bold brushstrokes and a square format. An underpainting of traditional umber began the painting. A background of blue offsets the darker color of the fruit and the light rests on the pear. It creates a simple image for kitchen or dining.

The original painting was created on a 6x6 inch stretched canvas with professional grade oil paints. It resides with a buyer from the state of Georgia.

I've been selling originals and reproductions of my work online since 2007. People all over the world have purchased my art and it is wonderful to connect with so many.
