(Well, this certainly qualifies as “after Christmas”!)
This painting was part of the exercise of choosing a painter to emulate that I mentioned in my last post. A friend picked this wonderfully provocative quince off her tree to show me and immediately I asked if I could have it to paint ala Georgia O’Keefe. I didn’t intend to get too serious about it but as I worked on it the more I liked it, so I let go of Georgia and finished it up ala Leslie. The size is what makes it powerful so the web is not it’s best view.
More paintings from the February show coming…
