This colourful oil painting of pears, apples and quince has alla prima feel to the brush strokes . The way the fruit is placed gives a classical feel to its composition. The warm palette of vivid autumn yellows, golds, reds and oranges are wonderfully vivid and using transparent glazes enliven the canvas even more. Framed with simple squared moulding that slopes into the painting we are drawn into the composition. I made this on one of Paul Foxton’s online workshops that began in lockdown which nudged me into alla prima methods which have a welcome spontaneity.
