Pears on Blue - SOLD

Pears on Blue
Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD at $10 plus $10 shipping.

This coming week at Michaels, we have a still life, so I thought something really simple, like some pears.  Complex enough to avoid boredom, but simple enough to be doable.

SOLD at $15 plus $10 shipping.

Close Up Detail of Texture Below:


Last week I gave a freebie class in painting at Michael's. I can't say that it was a great success, since it was intended as a sample for folks who might want to sign up for a class, and turned into a sort of community free event instead. I even had a 5 year old in there, and other kids.

Anyway, using up the canvas here on which I instructed a color wheel in acrylics, no need to save it.
This one is done with a palette knife, one of my favorite techniques for obtaining subtle color mixes. Hence, all the texture. Hope you are all enjoying your "snow day" (those of you in Jonas territory.)
