Holland Pair and Pear
Holland Pair and Pear

Oil on deep canvas
30x40cm
framed white wood 35x45cm
SOLD
This is a play on words, obviously pair and pear, but the brightness of the pear and the very old Dutch ornament work well on many levels. My inspiration for this series of still life paintings is my love of painting from the Dutch Golden Age where everyday objects were elevated to be symbolic. I find the calm in these paintings, when I paint them and when I look at them. I also love to iron the fabric to create the creases and then paint those creases in.
