Original Fine Art Oil Painting
"Pears, Beets and Bottle"
by Sarah Griffin Thibodeaux
18”x14”
Oil on Panel

In this painting, "Pears, Beets, and Bottles," the lushness of the beet greens with their long stems provides a setting for the pears. It is the contrast of the bright greens with the dark burgundy stems and the horizontals of the shelf and the ground against the verticals of the stemsthat make this a painting about balance. A push pull of solid to fluid against Griffin Thibodeaux's transparent background give the painting a feeling of solid vs. suspended in time and place.
