Battered and Bruised
8x6 pastel
These two sad looking pears where actually not so battered and bruised..until I took my "artistic license" out on them. Poor things...they sat there posing and never saw it coming. They didn't realize I had made a commitment to myself to complete 30 paintings in 30 days. They had no idea that I had waited until nearly bedtime to begin to paint...after an already exhausting day. They also didn't know I was only allocating a few minutes to get the job done. So, after those few minutes of painting (which was more like a bar brawl) we agreed to part as friends. Not only were they very battered and bruised...but my ego was too. (lol)
