Cozy Pears


Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas. Approx 20"x20" SOLD

I am very pleased to announce that this painting will hang in the Susan Powell Fine Art Still Life Invitational from Mar 26 - May 2, 2010. It was a last minute addition but I am fortunate to be able to meet the deadline. Stay tuned for new work that will make its way to that gallery.

  5. Wow, I love this one, both the pears and the cloth are beautifully real, with some magic added. The cloth looks like silk.
    Best regards,

  6. These are beautiful Michael. I love the pears, their colours and how you can feel the bumpy firmness of their skin.

  10. Great stuff! There's movement and lyricism in the painting...swirling cloth and slightly lumpy pears. I love it!

  16. As already noted "Cozy Pears" is both delicate and beautiful. But there is even more - solidity and strength

    The larger image reveals brushstrokes applied with quiet confidence.
