SECKEL PEAR SHADOW An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge Day Twenty Two

'Seckel Pear Shadow'
Leslie Saeta's Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge
Day Twenty Two

Oil on Panel
6 x 6

Of all the pears, I think I like the seckel pears best.

They are compact, and smaller than most other pears,

and I find their bronze-y green and red coloring

beautiful and fun to paint.  I wanted this one to have a 

little drama, so I put it in my box that has limited 

light.  My favorite part is the reflected light from

the wooden box that hits the under-belly of the pear...

All of my paintings for this Challenge will be done in a 6 x 6 format,
and my main goal while painting from life
is to LOOSEN UP and USE MORE PAINT...
something which will only benefit my work.
