What I Am Learning
As I am having a hard time with seeing the reflected colors of light outside in plein air, I decided to do a little study I found in Kevin MacPherson's book Paintings with Light & Color. I used a box and changed the color around the pear with construction paper. Here are my results.

YUMMY !!!! I love the colors. Pears are so curvy and sweet.
love your pears Cindy! I love this experiment. I love your backgrounds, edges of the fruit and the light, mediums and shadows and and and......
Patti ; )
what a gracious (is that the right word I want?) beautiful and intention-filled process. I've learned along with you. Thanks!
Thanks ladies!
The pears are stunning! By the way, who are you?
i don't think we have met Annette. I started blogging a long time ago and was reluctant at first to use my real name. Not so much anymore but that is what my block stuff is under. Cindy Rutherford
Cindy what a lovely practice. Going back to basics is proving an excellent process for you. These pears are delightful, and your attention and sensitivity are wonderful. Great job -- Kevin Macpherson would be proud!
(ps, my favorite post on the blog this season ;-)
