Latest NZAG challenge

July 21, 2009

Here’s my entry in the latest NZ Art Guild challenge, which had to involve memory in some way, and only use two colours plus black and white. I drew the pears from memory, so that’s the inspiration part.
Title: Purple and Yellow Pears
Size: 20cm w x 23cm deep
Medium: Acrylic on white AS Modigliani paper. Black, white, Windsor Purple and Deep Cadmium Yellow acrylic paints.

    I love these pears! They are lovely and the unexpected color gives them a nice ‘twist.’

About me

I'm a library manager in rural New Zealand, and recently completed an Advanced Diploma of Arts & Creativity (Honours). I've been painting seriously for the last few years. Inspired by the local landscape, much of my work leans toward abstraction. My art can be found in galleries, exhibitions and private collections, primarily in New Zealand and the USA.
