In my last post, I started a colorful series of mini pear paintings in a acrylic.
Today, I completed a second statement (draft). This time I painted in oil over the acrylic. (You can paint oil over acrylic, but it’s not a good idea to paint acrylic over oil, unless you want your paintings to crack later.)
Pears… In… Spaaace !
As I was painting, I recognized that all of the pears were floating. I could have grounded them by adding shadows and darker areas underneath the pears but I just couldn’t bring myself to bring them down to earth. I laughed and thought of the old Muppet Show segments… Pigs In Space.
Here’s a clip from one of the episodes:
I should be able to finish these next time I work on them, and I just may leave them floating…
Stay tuned…
Have an idea. They would look great connected to eachother somehow in a verticle, all six of them. Perhaps connect them with copper or wire..
Oh Janet very cool! I was thinking the same thing as far as connecting them. I’m not going to connect the originals but I am going to play with many designs in photoshop when they are done. I’m creating several versions…verticle, horizontal and quilt like. :O) And offer them as prints…

You made me laugh, I’d forgotten how much fun the Muppets were. Sounds like you’re going to have heaps of fun playing with the designs.

Simplicity can be nice for a change.
