I’ve been wanting to watercolor pears…
They seem like a fun loose subject, so I decided to give them a try one evening this past week.
I started with this purple one – because…
why not?!!?!
Then I did this more realistic colored one in golds and brown tones.
After painting that pair, I was still enjoying, and wanted to be even more creative, so I decided to try one in patriotic colors of red, white, and blue. For the “white,” I used frisket to mask, and peeled it off when dry.
Then I wanted to do one even more colorful and looser, so I did this rainbow pear. A little out there – eh?!?
It was fun to take the same basic shape and make so many different images with it.
Yep – painting pairs of pears is what I do…
at
life in between.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Love ’em! For some reason, I’ve always been drawn to painted fruit. I LOVE the purple (and all the rest).

The purple one is my fave! But then I have a thing for purple… My new running shoes are purple. Somehow I don’t think they would make a good watercolor subject though. 🙂

Very cool….I even see a horse’s face in the last one, strangely enough…:). But I’m not an artist..:)

LOL! Now I see it too George – and I see a bluebird, and a sea horse too. That last one doesn’t look a whole heck of a lot like a pear – does it?! 🙂
