Pears III


8x10 oil on panel

I took a long break - the move and a few other events intruded into my painting life. But I'm finally back, and painting most days.
These pears were done taking a fabulous workshop with Laura Robb in Santa Fe. I'm finding myself drawn to more traditional still lifes and landscapes, so will be posting more of those along with my more unusual subjects.
The big news is that I entered New Mexico's Masterworks show and not only got accepted but won an award for "Things You Can Stack"; have to say, I'm happy! The second bit of news is that I finally put up a website: terryrafferty.com Please visit and let me know what you think!
