Starting with this painting, I am going to start stating the concept for each painting that I do. That is, I will try to clearly state the intentions of the paint. Why? Certainly you do not need to know (and may not even want to know) but I want to make sure that I have a clear concept for each painting.
After all, if I don't have a concept, I am simply moving paint around and relying on 'happy accidents' to have a successful painting.
Concept of this painting was to have the eye start in the bottom left of painting and move up and across the pears. I was hoping that the contrast between the vertical up and the horizontal layout would prove interesting. The center of interest is the third pair, having the most saturated color. The painting still needs work. My 'lightest lights' have gotten too dark. Also, the fabric is a little boring and muddy. I need to restate the lights and shadows more clearly. Please comment freely. I am always happy to hear what others think.
