quinces

I have done the drive for my friends' son Kai and am now able to focus on painting a little again. This is a painting of some quinces. I've wanted to paint quinces for years and finally have found some at the store. They are in my mind perfect for painting because they seem to be formed perfectly but with too much effort and thusly they have these bulges and irregularities where you wouldn't think they'd have them. The painting is a transitional painting for me. I have been trying to make paintings for years that are both spontaneous and at the same time visually complex. I believe that the way I'm painting can bring me closer to that goal.
