Impressionist Pear - Greeting card

$10.00
After the death of my parents, returning to painting took time. The loss left me feeling unsteady and orphaned, unsure of how to begin again. When I finally came back to the canvas, I needed a subject that felt simple and familiar.
This painting was my first step. I chose a pear and began exploring different painting styles, allowing myself to focus on color, movement, and approach rather than outcome. Working in an impressionist style gave the piece a sense of looseness and immediacy, reflecting the state of mind I was in at the time.
This represents a quiet return to the act of painting. It is about exploration, experimentation, and finding a way forward through simplicity when words and direction feel out of reach.
