Jeanne's Peaches Plus One   watercolor/cold wax/wood   14 x 11 x .75         

Wow...this new blogger is a bit tough to figure out and, quite frankly, I just hate the time that it takes to figure it out!

The challenge with this work was to paint something in a jar....this situation causes the subject to receive light in a more diffused way...shapes merge and separate with less distinction.  It is a terrific lesson in painting what you see, rather than what you know to be true.  In this case, I chose a GIANT jar of peaches given to us last Christmas.  Because it is so very lovely, I cannot bear the thought of actually using it!  

And....this work was fixed with cold wax and fixed permanently to a wood cradle...an exciting frameless option for watercolor paintings.
