No. 331 - Single Pear

8" x 10" - Oil on Linen Panel

After getting in several ruts with the landscapes I've decided to try some still life paintings as a way to mix it up. Looking back over 2015, it's hard to believe that this is really the first one I've done. It was a lot of fun painting this and getting back with the pears.

I bought some Centurion linen panels after the recommendation by James Richards and those things are wonderful to paint on. It's a smooth surface but the paint does not lift off like other linen panels I've used.
