Pears



Pears - oil/panel - 5"x5" - sold

Painted this piece the week before last during my recent painting trip in Roundstone, Connemara. With this piece I was really concerned with shape. I had picked the pears up a couple of days previous and had just loved the way they hugged together when placed in this arrangement. The paint was applied quiet thinly and I used warm shadows to complement the cool greens of the pears.

Arrived in the village of Ballyvaughan in the heart of the Burren yesterday. Am all set up in the cottage down the road from the studio and managed to paint a small plein air piece from the window of the cottage last night.

Just started to get set up in the studio about an hour ago. The college, studio and facilities are fabulous. Really excited and looking forward to time spent here.

Better get back to the studio now.
The Burren is Magic!
