| A Pear and A Pair 6 x 8 Oil Painting SOLD
This was a small study begun earlier this month. I had done a simple set up of a pear and a couple of pansies form my garden as a practice piece and was not too pleased with the initial outcome (which is pictured below). I set it aside for several weeks and finally thought what to I have to lose to try and improve it. With nothing to lose and a sense of no attachment, I just went for it and added color, bolder brushwork etc.. on top of what was already there.
While I can't say the 2nd version pictured above is one of my all time favorites, I can see that rather than give up or just throw it out, it was worth giving it a 2nd shot to push what I initially deemed a failure to another level. The revised version does seem to me to have more energy and life vs the original which was okay but not very exciting.
