The Bradford pears are just bursting into bloom in my yard, so today - I just HAD to capture one of them in oils! I am using a canvas board today, because I didn't have this size in my beloved wood panels. I really wanted to stick with the 8x6 size (it matched my available painting time). After 822 painting days, I have gotten pretty good at knowing what size I can finish under a certain time limit). The bright sunlight bounced off the petals and foliage, and the strong winds tossed branches and grass back and forth. I have attempted to catch that movement with my palette knife and brush. Painting number 823 in 823 days.
