It's been a really long time since I've painted one of these architectural pieces. I love doing them, but they ARE more time consuming (and studio time always seems too limited these days!)
This painting reminds me of rainy days. Kind of like the one we had here yesterday. Waking up to rain is one of my favorite things, much better than the clouds we usually have that don't do anything.
This one is definitely my favorite of the recent pear paintings. I spent yesterday putting the finishing touches on a much larger panel. I'm very excited for my medium sized panels to get here, I'm a little tired of the larger sizes. I was also working on my book jacket cover that I'm donating for an upcoming fundraiser here. So far it's turned out much better than I expected! I'll post pictures...
I don't usually like painting animals, but I figured I couldn't visit South Dakota and not paint a cow. They were shinier than I thought so that part was fun. Also baby cows are the cutest!
