"Cortland apples (on reclaimed wood)" Oil on masonite, 7-1/2 x 10 inches
(Click on image for larger view)
Sold
During last month I've been busy with some new commissioned works. Three more still life to come during the summer.
(To avoid any confusion: " ...(on reclaimed wood)"
is part of the title. I never use reclaimed material as painting boards, only as subjects in the compositions. As specified at the bottom of the image, this oil is actually painted on masonite(new), sealed with shellac and prepared with 5 lightly sanded coats of gesso , a very traditional method).
Thanks for your visit,
have a great weekend!

Vraiment élégante et superbe cette peinture. Bravo Pierre, c'est un tableau magnifique ! On a envie de croquer dans ces pommes à pleines dents.

Pierre,
Beautiful again. I am wondering how you prepare your reclaimed wood substrate. I have always liked painting on wood but real wood sometimes split and I don't like the edges on masonite.
I like The National's song. Thanks.

another rich and beautiful painting.
Thanks Brian. Congrats for the Hudson River Fellowship, can't wait to see the works that will emerge from it. Also good luck with the new tatoos blog!

The depth of colour and physicality in your paintings really captivates me! Im guessing that you use quite a detailed underpainting?
Thank you Nick for taking the time.
Physicality, presence... could express well what I obsessively aim to translate through painting.
You're right about detailed underpainting- I could add "strategic" considering that each pigment requires some unique approach.

Fantastic! I'm a sucker for repeated forms like this...love the symmetry, just slightly offset by the leaves.
Thanks Don for your spontaneous appreciation!
