When I work on one of these small watercolors, the world around me completely disappears for a short time, the notion of time is non-existent - I am totally focused on the play of colors, the movement of the paint, the transformation that takes place on the paper. This has to be good body, soul and mind!
I am so grateful that art can bring me such pleasure.
Here are examples of these dazzling pears:
Dazzling Single
Original watercolor painting
Arches 140lb cold-pressed watercolor paper
Size: 6.25" X 8.5"
Matted to fit an 11"X14" frame
Original and note cards available
Arches 140lbCP watercolor paper
Size: approx 7" X 9"
Original in private collection
Note cards available
There is a certain energy and freedom to these paintings. I hope you do explore more of the pouring and masking and playing with that.
ReplyDeletehey christiane.. are these fun??... love the almost abstract feel of it!! now you can be the pear door lady... keep em' coming!!
ReplyDeleteHow visually appealing, as mouth-watering and delectable as the fruit itself!
ReplyDeleteLove the delicious shadow play in The Amigos.
Your use of masking fluid to achieve the abstract forms interacting with and over the top of the single pear captures the viewers attention immediately. Your eye keenly exploring the shape/s echoing branch like structures as it radiates outwards dropping you into the rich ripeness of the fruit!
Two delightful, yummy paintings!
Really interesting, Christiane - I love the abstract shapes with the delicious pear. Keep pushing this approach -- can't wait to see what you do next!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, thank you for stopping by again. I intend to keep on exploring the possibilities offered by combining the pouring and the masking. I am probably looking for "happy accidents" more than an exact methodology:-)
ReplyDeleteCindi, lol...I am not sure what is better/worse: being the "door lady" or the "pear lady".
Perugina, thank you for once again turning your poet's eye on my paintings. I truly appreciate this poetic dimension that you added to my mundane pears.
Mary, I really appreciate the encouragement. Hopefully, this weekend I will have time to have fun with the pouring and the masking...I will keep my fingers crossed for some interesting results.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to look at my blog and commenting. Your messages are the highlight of my internet time and encourage me to keep on painting.
Christiane I find these interesting. I really like painting pears too. Never thought of pouring or adding masking fluid. Very interesting technique can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful!
