The pears are finished!

And if two posts aren't enough after such a drought, here's another!

The grisaille pears are finished.  I finished the front stem and the reflection area of the pears.  I like how it turned out and am really happy with it.  The last poppy painting is going to be in this style. 

It's also on a 1/4 sheet of Arches 300 lb cold pressed paper.  And it's all in traditional watercolour paint.  I love how it looks like an oil painting, though.  :-)  I'm also pretty proud of that black background!  It's several washes of WN blue black and was done without any masking around the pears at all.

The colors are just amazing.

Hi Asit, thanks! Funny thing that I always prefer cool colours yet my best (or what I think is my best) are always in very warm vivid colours. :-)

Nicely done, Deb. I'm doing a happy dance that you are painting again. Please, please do more, okay?
