Pears and Flowers, work in progress.

The image above is a work in progress shot of the still life that I’ve been working on in my studio.  In setting up this painting, my plan was to create an arrangement that would allow me to really push some of the visual textures.  We have the rough wood of my studio table, the glass pitcher, the slubbed brown linen used  the background, and the flowers and pears. 

I have one good round of paint across the entire panel.  Now it’s time to really start pushing the colors, and playing up the atmosphere and texture.
