My year-long journey of learning to oil paint. The quest: 300 paintings in 2019. It will require near-daily attention. Progress, lack of progress, fun, not fun, rewarding, not rewarding....stumbling blocks, moments to toss it all, but also moments of great joy! But the learning part....the intention is to record it here.

#17 1/21/19 Happy Pear
Day 17, if I'm going to get to 300 paintings by December 31st, I gotta keep cranking! So far, so good....8 more in 10 days, the pace is working. Uncle Tim did a pear on our paint day, and I really liked it, so I decided I'd try a pear. His was much more stylish, but he is a professional after all. I like the purple, orange and lime-green, hence the name "Happy Pear". My grandparents (Uncle Tim's parents) had two pear trees: one in the front, one in the back. The pears were everywhere, earthy looking and rock-hard. So, both Uncle Tim and I have experience handling pears. Don't know if that helped here....but it brought back a memory of searching the yard for the perfect sized pear to stop-up the pan under the water-pump, to try and create a little swimming pool to play in.
