Appearing, 20 x 16", oil on panel, spring 2026 (Shown Glazed & 72dpi here)
My friend Brooke was visiting WA for the holidays back in December. We met up in Enumclaw to have lunch and shop with some friends. There is an antique store there that I wanted to go look for subjects to paint in, so I explained how my initial process works when waiting for an object to get my attention. As we were having a look around, nothing was grabbing me despite there being many gorgeous old things. Brooke called from around a corner. She held up an old glass pear to show me. It was perfect. I love pears. I posed it with a real pear and a knife on a cutting board from my kitchen. Because not everything is as it appears.
The original object is shown below. This is part of my Found Light series; glass objects found second-hand or disposed of in WA.
