A Pair of Pears - Oil on 9 x 12 Canvas Panel
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
A Pair of Pears - I see a lot of pear paintings on the net and like most of them. Personally I prefer them to appear soothing, subtle and yet magnetic to the eyes. I don't know if I have achieved that here; however I like it as it is. Your comments are welcome.
As a student in northern Minnesota I enjoyed being an artist. My uncle Charles: C. X. Carlson, a noted author, artist and muralist was a great influence me.
I sketched and painted everyday until age sixteen or so, then it seemed as though life took over. Since then I've lived in Kansas, Texas and presently in California. Now, 50+ years later and retired, I have returned to the more pleasurable pastimes of my youth.
This year, 2007, I started drawing, painting and playing music once again. It will be interesting to see where these endeavors guide me and how my skills in turn develop over time. Everything I offer here is an original. Some may be renditions of other works I find interesting, however originals just the same. If you see something you would like to purchase, email me or use either the purchase link or the "BUY NOW" button that is with the painting you like. You can use either PayPal or credit card and its secure. No Paypal account necessary. Any questions, just email me.

You certainly have achieved the soothing, subtle and magnetic to the eyes effect. Very beautiful painting!
Marina, thanks for your wonderful words. We all need a pat on the back on occasion.
