Maumee River Plein Air

Another great spring day in Northwest Ohio. A somewhat less than inspired painting but when the goal is just to relax and enjoy the day the result is always a success.

9" x 12"

oil on canvas

Conspiring Pears

had this little conversation going on in my head when I was painting this.
Pear No. 1: I heard she was making lime Jello tonight.
Pear No. 2 (shrilly): No!!!
Pear No. 3: You don't think she'll be putting you know what in there, do you?

8 x 10 oil on canvas - a quickie about an hour.
(I did make the Jello)

I am posting a photo of the pears before they became dessert as well. I will talk later about why a painting is usually a more accurate representation of reality than a photo ever can be and this painting is a great example of why this is true.
