The Pear, Part Deux

Painting No. 2|8″ x 8″|Oil on Canvas Panel

So, the first painting sold in 30 minutes. Sure, it was a dollar but that’s what I’m talking about. The second painting of the 100 is our friend the single pear again. This time I gave it a moodier, darker background to see how that worked.

The funny thing about this painting is how much abuse I have put it through. It was originally an 8×10 but I cropped it funny (too far to the left) and so I decided to cut it down to an 8×8. The background had to be worked three times all to the cries of Leslie saying things like “leave it alone” and “it was better before.” But, last night I think I got it right and we were all happy.

You can purchase this one at this link but if you want it hurry.

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement. I think this will be the last of the single pears and will try to start mixing it up starting Sunday. Oh, and thanks to Rank the signature is now a *little* smaller. 🙂
