Three Pears and a Sari

June 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

More painting – in fact I did this the other day and didn’t post it. I didn’t quite achieve what I set out to do – paint someting bold, spontaneous and naive in style.

This was the result:

Three Pears

Three Pears

Well maybe I set myself too many aims! I certainly lost the spontaneaity and simplicity once I got to the pears. The fabric is a beautiful Sari originally from Malaysia, I believe.

I’m in love with the brilliance of gouache colours though – they also look great in reproduction which is handy.
