I promise you this painting will look terrific displayed in your kitchen or eating area.  It is very textural, a palette knife painting.  The donut was delectable, my second promise.

PEARS AND BLUE VASE

"Pears and Blue Vase", 5x5, oil on canvas covered board, unframed.  This rich palette knife painting is suitable for framing or for displaying on a tabletop easel.  Blue and yellow colors are always lovely when placed side by side.  

I struggled too much with this painting.  The vase was easy.  The pears were easy.  The background gave me trouble.  I wondered how I could plop some bright Quinacridone Rose in there for color punch.  What do you think? 

I would be very honored to have your advice and feedback.  Please comment.
