Thought I’d try to do a little series of pears. Because I really like (am obsessed with) pears and I thought it would be interesting to play with one colour plus black and white of the same subject over and over. My intention is to complete at least ten of these. But I have a fairly short attention span, so I’m not making any promises. Here are the first two.

“Two and two do not make four. Only accountants think that. but that is not enough: a painting must make this clear; it must fertilize the imagination.”
– Miró, 1959

Just back from Vancouver and Seattle for a family vacation. In Seattle we had the chance to visit the Seattle Art Museum and their current exhibition “Miró: The Experience of Seeing” as well as other great artwork. And this painting has absolutely nothing to do with that.
Nothing new today – just a bit of old artwork from a time when I seemed content with painting the same still life over and over again.
