I live in rural New Brunswick which provides most of the subject matter of my paintings. I have a three-wheeled bicycle with a large basket on the back where I can store my paints, a chair and a table and anything else needed. When I am painting, I am in a world of pure concentration. My goal is to create spontaneous, balanced and authentic works of art with the hope that people who see my art will feel the same kind of pleasure that I do.
Yesterday at a thrift store I bought a used book called "Saint Valentine" retold and illustrated by Robert Sabuda. All of his art work illustrations in the book were done with that same mosaic look and I was in awe of this...and here today you put this up...or maybe yesterday, same day I had found the book.
Of all your pear paintings, this one brings together symbolism of the mossaic as a medium for spiritual icons and the pear as a symbol of fruitfullness. The pear is surounded by blue light making it celestial.
Wow, Diane. You bring a lot of information into the painting. Thanks. Sandy, I will look up Sabuda to see if he has work online. I got a little inspiration with the pear because when I bought it, the check-out boy lay the pear on the counter and said, Now there's a painting. So I had to paint it a few times. The pear is getting riper and riper!!!
