Pears is the fifth and final piece in the Kitchen collection. I bought these pears at the local farmers market and was inspired by the combination of the red and yellow colors on the pears. I felt that the orange background and the blue bowl complemented the pears nicely.

The style of this artwork is best described as Abstract, Fine Art, Modernism. The genre portrayed in this piece of art is Still Life. The artwork was created in Gouache, Watercolor. The size of the original art is 11 (inches) H x 14 (inches) W.
Words which artist Nancy K Riedell feels best describe this work of art are: pears, bowl, abstract, food, fruit.
As a watercolorist, I experience not only how the paint itself plays on the paper, but also how the water flows and mixes together with the paint. Water is the determining factor whether the paint is bold or muted. It blends the colors together and allows the paint to intermingle in a way that other mediums cannot. It is an active and complex partner changing both the absorbency and shape of the paper when it is wet and the outlines and appearance of the paint as it dries. I am challenged using watercolor paints because I am also anticipating and leveraging the behavior of water, rather than attempting to control or dominate it.
Watching the paint and water intermingle is truly magical. It allows me to be in touch with my inner spirit and lets my inner child play. It is an experience that stops time.
My artwork allows you an opportunity to experience how I view the world and how I see the "ebb and flow" of life. Please join me in my quest to see the world in a unique and colorful way.
