Artist's Play Room #18

Scroll down for
this week's theme!

We're into APR #18, quite amazing, isn't it? We've been getting together here for 18 weeks! It's been such a pleasure getting to know you all and your art. Last week's theme was "Recipe Art" and I asked you to pick your favorite recipe and illustrate it any way your heart desires. I figured then we could share recipes and art! Since everyone's art is always wonderful, this week please accept a group hug from me for your beautiful work. 

It was such a different challenge to post, I'm so glad you all liked it as much as I did. This week I'll just be putting artist and recipe title under each piece of art so it's easy for all to see which recipes they may want to steal!! Obviously you all can just go and oggle the lovely artwork, even if the recipe isn't your thing. We've got a great collection of artwork, here's mine and all the other terrific participants from last week. 

(If you need recipe clarification, I'm sure each artists won't mind a personal email or comment on their blog!)

Here we go...

I love to paint fruit. More specifically, I love to draw, sketch or paint pears. Yes, you read that right, PEARS. They have such a lovely curvature to them. Their pear bodies look so rounded and interesting. Great fodder for an artist. I got the idea of doing a pear Love-fest from a woman who blogs and teaches an online course called Pearology, how to paint watercolor pears. If you'd like to learn how to paint the lovely pear then go to her site by clicking the links under the picture and sign up.

If you have a love of another kind of fruit and you just must paint that, then have at it, paint me a watermelon or an apple or how about a kiwi, but I'm doing pears. Because I love them. Here are several beautiful, sweet and funny examples of this wonderful curvy fruit.

Britt's word art

Amy's Paper Mache pear

Laurie's sewn papers pear

David's pear wall hanging

Tara's mixed media pears

Oomen's pear in oil

Well there's a big bunch of pears, isn't it?  Geez, we could make pear jam or pie. You think the artist's would mind? Us borrowing their subject matter to make a pie?? It'd be yummy, promise, I have my grandmother's crust recipe and she was a fantastic baker. But that's another story, I digress. Pears. GO.

:o)

I'll be back with more art. Until then, keep on keeping on.

Later gator.

Best,
