Re Posed

I'm always interested in the chiaroscuro effect of objects emerging out of the darkness. A great opportunity to find and lose edges.

  1. Hi Brenda. I haven't been blogging around in awhile. Love this pear of yours. It just leap out at me!

  2. Again very skillful work - I like a lot! It´s both - mystical and realistic - at the same time. Mystical dark (wonderful colour of blueberry) and fresh green together... yes, powerful shadows and lights!

  3. Beyond The Parisian Masters

    There was
    Henri De Toulouse Lautrec
    painting Jane Avril
    and his many art posters
    of the Moulin Rouge
    and Folies-Bergère.
    Then Édouard Manet painted his
    A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.
    Now Brenda Ferguson,
    you paint a dancing pear.
    Ah, the footlights are back
    and the stage is lit in Maine.
    Fun modern local version
    of the old Parisian nightlife
    now in your Dixmont studio;
    your produce produces
    fine art colors colored
    with humor. Your pear
    is cooking, Josephine.
    Bake her.
