Forbidden Fruit


AWARDED THE SCA BRONZE MEDAL 2010

The humble pear is my favorite fruit to paint. In this watercolor, I used the pear as an area of light and focus. They are nestled into silk and velvet and they are elevated on the picture plane. Not only does the fabric give them a new kind of status, but the richness of the color adds a second contrast.

I will be exhibiting this painting with the Societe canadienne de l'aquarelle at their annual exhibition in May in Montreal.
