Gloria J Zucaro's "Plump & Juicy"




    



6" Square Original Oil on Raymar Canvas Panel
SOLD

Why do painters love pears?! 
I am no exception.  They are so interesting in shape and a multitude of colors, too!
In this painting I used transparent colors for the block in, and tried a more impressionistic layer of color over that.  I love the way it turned out!  I used a flat bristle brush  for the whole painting.
This is my entry for this weeks Paint Party Friday.  Happy PPF! go see everyone's art work at

    This is just beautiful. I know what you mean about pears. I just noticed that I've also painted several- all watercolors.

    This is lovely. At first glance (I am a little tired lol) I thought I was looking at a woman sitting down, the stem being her hair, and I like it even more for having a mysterious quality like that.

    LOVE this color palette, seriously YUMMY =)
    I think we artists love them because like us they are artsy, un-perfectly perfect - simple and different...
    much better than those apple's and banana's!

    don't pears in some symbolic way resemble the female figure? That could be it :D I absolutely adore the colours and broad strokes in this one. Great piece!

    Your work is so gorgeous, Gloria!
    Love that you include a spectrum of color and brushstrokes within a simple pear without overpowering it whatsoever.
    What talent to find this balance!

    Happy PPF!!
