Day 59


No, you are NOT seeing double. Today when I
was up in the studio, I moved the
pear I painted yesterday and 'saw' a whole
new painting. I am just intrigued by
the balance of the leaves and the pear -
it reminds me of a dancer.

interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see

An excellent example of the quote I have on my webpage by Proust: THE REAL VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY CONSISTS NOT IN SEEKING NEW LANDSCAPES BUT IN HAVING NEW EYES...MARCEL PROUST

Nice job on both of them. Great color and movement.

I love Cecelia's quote!! And I must say, there is much more harmony, much like a dancing couple, in your second one! I LOVE that composition! well done!!
