Pears with Still Life

[snoball]

We already have Still Life with Pears so I have to use a different title. I don't think I've posted this one but if I have, forgive. I'm getting old.

Wow! that is gorgeous, sno! The pears, the cloth are stunning. I love the bg also. Just beautiful!

 

[snoball]

Thanks Bizzi!

 

[Artyczar]

Fantastic! Your backgrounds are always perfectly blended too--which gives more life to the subject matter. This one is excellent! Sooper-dooper!!!!

 

[snoball]

Thanks Arty! ❤

Real fine work! Beautiful handling of the towel.

 

[Enyaw]

Holy Crap! you are one talented lady. Your shadows set the table, but you know that already. Beautiful.

 

[snoball]

Thank you Patrick and Wayne! I appreciate the kind comments. ❤

Looks great Margaret, whenever I see pears I think of Joe.

 

[snoball]

Yes, me too. In fact, these were painted from a discussion with Joe about pears. You knew he had passed, didn't you?

I do.

Snoball,
it's a wonderful piece, very beautiful, you get lost in the colors, and it's strange but I see drama, a lot of action, tension, I think for what fabric,
I am really afraid that someone will come and tear the fabric, risking to collapse the fruit and ruin the scene which is so harmonious, beautiful.
I think it is a snapshot more than a painting and that if I click on update the fabric will be in the air and bo.

yes, this is probably a stupid, strange thought, I will have this tendency, however I find that this is also a beautiful job. thanks for sharing.

Thanks Joe, and thanks for your thoughts. The cloth is more or less precariously situated on the corner.

Sno, so lovely and soft! Misty! Again, I'm interested about the size? Approximately small, medium size or big would be enough knowledge. Sorry, I always ask ☺

 

[snoball]

Thank you moscatel. The size is 12"X16".

 

[moscatel]

That's nice size. Imo, not too small nor big for still life. I use a lot that size too.

 

[snoball]

I use it a lot too, along with 16"X20" because they are kind of standard and easy to frame. I do a lot of portrait commissions so these sizes work well.

 

[Artyczar]

16 x 20...my favorite size really, and not because you can get good deals on the canvases sometimes.

You can get good deals buying them 6 or 12 at a time but they are just an easy size to work with, in a landscape or a portrait either one.

the piece of cloth is humbling. That is so good.
