I love to paint outside and with my kids. The day I painted this, it was a beautiful spring day, my garden was in full bloom and I needed to get outside. I put the trestle tables in the garden, set up my son to paint, cranked up the music and painted 3 artworks using the same technique but with very different results.
 
All 3 canvases have:
* oil pastel shapes in 2 or more colurs
* collage from my own gelli printed paper
* 3 acrylic colours similar to the colours of the collage painted with a palette knife
* finger painted dots
* high flow acrylics dripped down them
* marks, outlines or patterns drawn with posca pens.
* extra details drawn on the edges with poscas
 
I absolutely love how different all three turned out.
 
When I made this I did not have pears in mind at all!
After the layers of paint, I couldn't unsee them, so pears they became!
I very rarely paint food but I really like this one.
It is bright and fun. Perfect for a kitchen.
