Every year, I get a box of these fat, ripe pears in the mail from a relative on the East Coast. I always save a few and take them with me to paint on Wednesday night. Before, I had always done them on canvas, but this time I experimented with slick, gessoed boards and I really liked the results. The paint slides around on the board, and it’s easy to push around with palette knives and these silicone color shapers, which a friend calls "paint pushers." This is really the first painting that I did in this style, but there have been many more since then. I’ll post more soon.
And in the spirit of paint pushing, I’ve made this my first eBay listing.
Why paint? Why sell them on eBay? Read about it here.
