#205 & #206 Peach and Pear 9/26/19

The last 2 of the 4 inch canvases, completed.  I thought, hey if I'm not progressing, let's take a step back and see what happens.  Let's revisit the eyeliner style.  So that's what happened tonight.  A heavy dark line was painted yesterday, dried enough overnight to let me paint the fruit without smearing the dark paint into the fruit.  Although it also dried enough so that you can still see the edges of that wide drawing inside the fruit.  But it might be that I'm the only one who would notice that.  I like the pear, but I'm on the fence about the peach.  It looks very cartoon-ish to me.  But the colors are true, so that helps.  The background on the pear didn't come to me naturally, I kind of had to think, and think some more.  Finally, I decided that the three colors inside the pear would compete and possibly lose if I went with anything heavily pigmented.  So, I decided on a pale, pale yellow....ever so neutral....and kind of blah.
