Scroll down for this week's theme! |
Last week we tackled Pearology, the love of pears. I confessed that I love drawing fruit and more specifically, my favorite is pears. I asked you to create with whatever media strikes you, a beautiful curvaceous pear (or if you have a specific fruit love then I guess you could do that, lol). Ok, on to the ART because that's why we're all here.

Dion has started a wonderful new series on her blog. It's called "When Artist's Cook" and she'll be illustrating scrumptious recipes and maybe even someday putting it all together in a cookbook This is a beautiful start Dion! | I'm loving these green pears, they somehow elicit such humor to me. They look like they're all standing around waiting for the bus, you know, like pears do!! Hehehe, really great Terrie. |

Lou Anne has done a pear fairy and has come up with the brilliant idea to do the whole fruit bowl into fruit fairies, I think they'll be just adorable! | Diane has given me a twofer this week, this is pear 1, a wonderful painted collage that she does so expertly. I think this looks so delicate, really pretty. |

Tracey has done some wonderful and happy looking pears, I especially love that they're three in a row, making the painting an odd size. Pears are unusual fruit and deserve a unique treatment. Thanks Trace! |

Darla has pulled out an older piece this week as her finger is still down for the count for another week. Thank God she did, this is gorgeous, I love the old world feel, wow. | Gina has done an absolutely lovely and colorful pear. The colors are so clear and bright that her pear just jumps off the page! |

Tracy has done some gourd-geous pears for this challenge, I'm loving the colors and the shine is stunning. Really wonderful! | Gloria has done a semi abstract drawing with watercolors. I really appreciate the swirl of colors it makes the pears look almost hidden, and you have to search to find them, cool! |

Cindy decide to do cherries and cherry blossoms and I'm so glad she did as this painting is just beautiful. I love it as always Cindy. | Vonny has rendered a pear that she's wholly unhappy with but I know that we ALL love it. I especially love the pink, it looks so happy! |

Debbie has used crayon shavings, her imagination and her toaster oven to create a wonderfully simplistic and colorful pear. I'm in pear love! | TwinkleToes has rendered an excellent set of zentangled pears, they looks absolutely pearfect (I couldn't resist!) |

Awwww, Minn did a pair of loving pears who stay together through thick and thin because they love each other. Isn't that just the pearfect sentiment?? | Serena has painted a wonderful watercolor of three pears. She totally made me laugh by telling me she got hungry and ate her still life!! |

Neesie is just exploring her inktense watercolor pencils, what a wonderful watercolor she made. The pears look soft, bright and juicy. Really well rendered Neesie! | Elizabeth has given some love to the apple, since pears seem to have gotten wholly enough love all the way around! This is gorgeous. |

Rita has done a couple of lounging pears, resting on their sides like they're sunning themselves. I think they look fab but if they don't get out of the sun they're gonna brown that puurrty skin, lol. | Nordljus has done a beautiful still life of many different kinds of pears and it makes for a spectacular art piece. |

Arnoldo had overachieved this week, doing tags and atc's in the theme of Pears. I think they're all exquisite. |

I love your challenge... but would love to see the pictures... they are all way to large for me to see with dial up... boo hoo... but I still enjoy doing the challenges... Have a fun week playing with paper, pen and ink... love, light and peace...Bonnie
ReplyDeleteThis was great fun and really took me outside the box to do something I had never done before! Can't wait to see what everyone else did!
ReplyDeleteYour drawing is out of this world. I am always amazed at your talent.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have no "ink," so had to go with what I had. Guess by now, you realize I normally have to bend the rules a bit. Hope you like it, though.
What a beautiful and juicy collection of pears! I'd never thought that drawing and painting pears would be such fun :). Seeing all these is so inspiring. Your pair of pears is just gorgeous, I especially love the leaves, the shadows and highlights are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found your blog. It's truly encouraged me to continue to develop my fine arts skills. Blessings!
