Flowering Pear and Plum

Flowering Pear and Plum
Oil o wood panel, 8x6
This is painting with a secret - it has another painting underneath it! An artist friend wisely told me not to leave any painting behind that is not up to my current standards.  So every once in a while, I will take out an old one, and decide if it is worth saving, or completely recycle the substrate.  The path, middle ground and background are from the previous painting, but fresh color has been added, and the foreground trees have been added.  These trees are from my own yard, and each year when they burst into bloom - I have an irresistible urge to paint them! The plum has wonderfully sweet fruit in the summer!  Painting number 826 in 826 days :)
