Oil on 1/4″ pure eucalyptus hardboard; 24″ x 28″; Apr 2008.
Two sets of notecards featuring this painting are available for sale online.
This will hang at Zambistro Restaurant in Medina, New York with other paintings I have created for that space. There is something very soothing and comforting about this painting, in both the texture of the paint and the colors I used to create the golden glow of the pears. It almost feels as if I have captured life-giving sunlight particles within the pears themselves. It is also interesting, because even in a dark room the light and shadow of the pears glows. I find myself gazing at my own painting, and I am not entirely certain I am willing to sell this one. I will entertain offers, but am not going to put a price on it just yet.
