I painted the following three pieces during the past several months. The rooster is a close replica of a rooster I completed in watercolor last year.
Requested by someone who liked the watercolor.
The pears were painted to represent the large agricultural influence pears have in the California Delta.
"A Pair"
The still-lifes were done after we visited the Museum of the Orangery in Paris last March. After viewing the amazing works of such artists as Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, Rousseau, Matisse, Derain, Modigliani, Soutine, Utrillo and Laurencin, I was reminded that a pear doesn't need to have a curvaceous shape.
"Blue Pear" or "Pear On Table" or "Pear and Window"
So, the "Blue Pear". It will be interesting to see how it is received at the show.
I need to free up my "ambiguous" style and find something different. One day.
