Fruit Tarts on Red 12"x9", acrylic, framed, $300,
© B. Sistak Baur
Fruit tarts as a painting subject are attractive because of the variety they offer. Not only in colors and textures but in the styles with which they can be approached. Very thick and textural paints are apt. But fruit tarts are also very suitable for a more brisk approach that features fast, broad brush strokes and an easygoing looseness. The second approach is what I selected for this painting, Fruit Tarts on Red.
I put a close up picture below so you can see the brush strokes clearly and how one layer is quickly applied over the underlying layer, often working with wet paint on wet paint. You can click on the picture for a larger image. The result is an expressive painting. Fruit tarts work well in groups so I also have blue and yellow versions of this painting. They are posted on my website in the 9"x12" gallery.
