Three Pears still life painting

Three Pears   oil on gallery wrapped canvas  16" x 20"

The electricity on our street went out for almost 12 hours recently--I rushed various frozen meats and refrigerated items to my husband's job for storage in the fridge there...  and promptly abandoned my studio for the day.  No AC is a no-go for me here.  It's been dreadfully hot and humid.  After the un-intended break, I finished this 16x20...

    Now, I normally don't go for fruit paintings (just my personal preference, not a thing to do with your excellent talent), but, saying that, I DO like this one very much. I love the depth that you've captured here with the shadows!

    Also, the colors are amazing together -- particularly in those cherries. You're making me hungry for cherries.... And the background? Amazing.

    Your background is amazing. Many people would be satisfied with doing a great job on the fruit, but you really went all out.

    really love the harmony between the background fabric and the pears/cherries. Also, I'm looking forward to Mull it over Mondays:) I'm enjoying your posts Diane.

    You know, even Bono joked around about his former mullet at the concert Tuesday. :-b

    I do believe you will have to call your installments Mullet Over Mondays. The icon? A poor chap with mullet AND comb-over. Impossible? I challenge you.....
