In this hand painted still life, three golden yellow pears stand in a row, while a red apple takes center stage in the foreground. They stand on a base of varied shades of green, while the blue background is much like the sky.
..........................
When I paint fruit, I have to be careful not to eat it! It is tempting to sit in front of those luscious pears and apples, and just paint them. First, I decide where the setup will be, paying attention to the light source and often using large objects to channel or block some of the light. I usually arrange the fruit into several different positions, finally settling on one arrangement. Sometimes I draw the objects or fruit with a pen or pencil before painting. Other times, I just head straight for the paint brush.

With this piece, I pushed the lights and shadows just a little bit digitally. I hope you enjoy this painting of an apple and three pears.

Explore rough, rocky landscapes and old, crumbling buildings, made of rocks, stone, stucco, and wood. There are paintings of Louisiana and the southwest states of Texas, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. You'll also find fanciful works of imagination. These are the paintings of Lenora De Lude. "When I look at the beauty and majesty of creation, I know I can never duplicate the work of the ultimate Master, God Himself. But He has put a creative spark into me, and so I create. Come and see my creations. Pick up a few prints and cards. More will be added soon, and then more after that."
