Day One
Oil on Canvas Panel

 I am a little late with this first painting, but until
tonight I was not quite sure what direction I was going
to take.  I know I wanted to use larger brushes...but
then I came up with the idea to take a pear (or pears) and
using them as the subject for my thirty paintings,
I would paint each one of the paintings in a different styles.
I think this is going to be fun!

This first painting is based upon the cubist style.  One of
my favorite cubist artists is Piet Mondrian, so this is loosely
based upon his style.  I did some research, and learned
that Mondrian did not just do the very straight and perfect
geometric paintings I was used to.

In fact, I found a new favorite
'The Grey Tree'.
