"PEAR PARTY"

Posted by Picasa Collage - 8x10" Watercolor, Ink & Cut Papers
These little pears are done for this months "Virtual Sketch Date". There was a great reference photo of three pears in a white tray. As I began this project, I got carried away with creativity! Painting and cutting and playing with color! The circles, for some reason, kept reminding me of a childs birthday party ~ similiar to ballons perhaps!! Great way to spend part of a rainey day!

Really lovely piece Laine. The depth of the pears is great and the addition of colour and shape around them makes it very interesting.

What a great piece! It's so much fun to see the different ways people cropped the same image and handled the background. This is fantastic!

Hi Laine Lea, I really like this, it's bright and colourful and fun. Nice work.

I like it too. The funky background has the spirit of Belinda's photo, I think. Good to have a look at your collage work again.

I really like the way you handled this, I never would have thought of it! It really does have a celebratory feel to it - would make a great birthday card!
