Tarte Tatin

I made this last night, since I had the pears I'd been using for subjects for some of my paintings. I just couldn't let them go to waste! (This is how my pastry loving brain works).

It's a French dish - basically an upside down apple pie - although in this case is was a mixture of pears, apples, and cranberries.

Did I mention my husband is French? I'd love to paint some of his beautiful French country cooking. The food is as beautiful as it is delicious...

I tried to stay loose today and work my edges but it seems like I keep going back into it and fussing with it too much.

Maybe a good idea would be to try some 20 stroke paintings?
