Today is our wedding anniversary - 22 years.
We're off out in a little while for a celebratory lunch.
I have managed to do a couple of little studies of pears - hope you enjoy them.
Tomorrow and the day after I'm going to visit all your blogs. I just know there'll be some interesting posts I've missed.
Both of these pears were made in four colours - French Ultramarine, Transparent Yellow, Permanent Rose and Sap Green.
Both made on sample papers I picked up at the art show.
The first allowed to bleed wet-in-wet, and the second painted layer over layer, wet on dry.

Helene
and now a little something for you, in celebration...
If anyone would like to own one of these pears, please leave a comment saying which one you'd like. If there are many who'd like to own one, I'll draw a name from the hat on Sunday. This is open to all, no matter where you live.
have a great day ! xx

Hi Pat, Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and I hope you both have a wonderful day. I feel for you during your building work, we have just had our bathrooms revamped - it was arduous to say the least!! Hope your kitchen work goes smoothly (not a pun considering your plastering):/
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are lovely, plus the texture of the papers looks really nice. All the best, ann.
Belated anniversary wishes to both of you, Pat and Paul! Hope you had a lovely meal and perhaps Missy got a doggy bag too? The pear studies are excellent - I like the paper you have used too :)
ReplyDeleteI love painting pears, watercolor, oil , and colored pencil ,, I even did one in boring graphite. You can't ruin a pear.. !!! and yes, I would love to own one of yours.
