Round Pears - 5x5

My favorite types of pears to paint are the ones with great angles and curves...well Trader Joes didn't have any of those, just these round fat ones.  Good news is that they taste just as good :)

Presents!

Lots of family and friends requested paintings as gifts this year.   I guess that saves me money, but it's hard to know what to paint for them.  Hopefully I did an ok job :)  And now that Christmas is over I can post them here!

Purple Pear Love - Still life oil painting - 6x6

Pears are my favorite fruit, not just to paint, but to eat. A good pear is better than candy, maybe even better than cake. I'm waiting patiently for these two to ripen...

We planted our first square foot garden this weekend. I'm so excited! It's my first garden ever....well except for the radishes I grew when I was 5. Wish us luck :)

Line Up - Pear Still Life Oil Painting - 6x12

This one is definitely my favorite of the recent pear paintings. I spent yesterday putting the finishing touches on a much larger panel. I'm very excited for my medium sized panels to get here, I'm a little tired of the larger sizes. I was also working on my book jacket cover that I'm donating for an upcoming fundraiser here. So far it's turned out much better than I expected! I'll post pictures of it as soon as I'm finished.

Plate Pears - Still Life Oil Painting - 5x5

The Indignant Pear - Still life oil painting - 6x6

I feel like the left pear is a bit enraged about whatever the right one just said...but I don't think the right one knows it.

All In A Row - Pear Still Life Oil Painting - 12x12

I'm really happy with how this one turned out, I usually get frustrated when painting fabrics, but this one wasn't so bad. I'm not as happy with how the photo turned out, the bottom part of the painting isn't quite that dark.

The Clock Struck Twelve - Pear Oil Painting Still Life - 6x12

I'm trying to find other things that I can add into my still life paintings. I think a trip to Goodwill is in order, maybe I'll find a fantastic red vase or some interesting glass pieces. But for today this old clock was the best I could find.

Green and Blue- Pear still life oil painting - 5x5

This weekend my sweetheart of a husband planned an overnight trip for us to go skiing at Beaver Creek. What a nice weekend of rest before we had to come back to repairs and packing....well it would have been if I hadn't taken a nasty fall the first day, my head still hurts, my neck hurts even more. I do not like lots powder and heavy falling snow... not a good combination. At least it was at the end of the season and not the beginning, and it meant Zach got to go ski the blacks for a change :)
