Quince the Model

Quinces- SOLD
Painting size 15" x 11"
Have had a few days where I have not done a lot of painting but have made deliveries of my paintings for exhibitions that open tomorrow night and on Sunday afternoon. It sure feels strange to not have any deadlines to meet and I intend spending time now experimenting and finding new ways to capture my subjects. Not this week though, I am anxious about my solo exhibition tomorrow and will feel better after the opening (well I hope I do!). To try and relax I decided to use a familiar process and add to my edible series. I have never cooked with Quinces in fact I think I have only ever had them once in a crumble made by a friend some years back. Quince the Model (see photo below) came home with us after lunching in a favourite french style cafe last week where a basket of them had been put on the verandah for display I guess. I asked to take one home. Quince the Model has been patiently sitting in my studio begging to be painted. Behaving really well Quince twisted and turned so I could imagine him hanging on the tree along with lots of his friends.

  1. To reiterate my comments on facebook (big word for me) It is an interesting painting full of texture. Luv it. Never eaten quince either. I wish you success in your solo exhibition. What a big thing to undertake! Good luck my friend xx

    1. Thanks Polly, wish I had more of this fruit and perhaps I could have created a dish to eat too

  4. I really like your clones from one quince. Lovely imagination. Great colour palette. I always see this fruit at the farmers market but never have the courage to try it. Time to be more adventurous perhaps. Don't forget to enjoy your Exhib. :-)

    1. Not sure this Quince will be eaten either Laura but you are right getting adventurous is what it is all about.

  5. Dear Lorraine - good luck on your solo exhibition. I am sure you will do beautifully. Then it sounds like you will be able to once again have time to paint and play! Your quince is beautiful. I have never seen any here although I think they do grow in parts of the USA. Have a great week.
