The Lecture


The Lecture, 11 x 14
sold

No matter whether it's a teacher or parent giving the lecture, the recipient's look is often the same. This pear just looked like it was giving some advice to some not-so-enthused clementines. (And, yes, this is a Taylor's Gold). I'm still enjoying the dark backgrounds, though this time I went with a lighter foreground--I'm finally feeling like I have it (almost) together again. :)

Julie, I really love these dark backgrounds! There is so much depth and richness to this painting. I too have witnessed this not-so-enthusiastic expression, on more than a few occasions. Expect a call for coffee soon!

Your dark background really makes the fruit stand out. And your colors are wonderful! Nicely done!

Love hearing "the story" behind your painting. (also really like the painting particularly your design and clean clean strokes)

Hi Julie,

I like the drama of the dark background. A lovely painting.
