~ that is still without a proper title.
Untitled Un-Still Life, © Paula Pertile
8 x 10, colored pencils on paper
These are Red Velvet Pluots and Black Plums. They were so beautiful in the store, in all their purpley splendor, I had to buy them. And now I've drawn this and don't know what to call it.
Ascending Orbs? Something Uprising? Floating Red Velvet Pluots and Black Plums? Yeah, no.
It'll come to me.
A fun part of these new pieces is taking reference. I have to be a little creative. I obviously can't tell the fruit "OK, now float up a little ... a little more ... plum, move right a little ... OK, THERE ... "click". (Or maybe that IS what I do, bwah haha). I'll never tell.
Anyways. I'm always a little giddy after finishing a piece. Now I'm off to eat something chocolate and see who they put through on America's Got Talent.

Oh wow... this is exquisite... I love it!
Paula, are you coming to the convention next week in Cincinnati? I'll be there in the hospitality suite.
How about Plummet?
Thank you Katherine!
No, I'm not going to the convention. I'm sure I'll be missing a good time! Hope you have fun! Can't wait to see the winners.
Thanks for the suggestion Gin. You're in good company - a couple of people on FB have suggested "Plummeting". Someone else suggested "Purple Rain", which I'm kind of leaning toward at the moment.
Simply gorgeous!!! Good luck with the title. Purple Rain works for me.
These are soo beautiful!! I saw figs and plums today at the grocery and thought "Paula Pertile's illustrations give so much life to these little fruits."
Thumbs up on Purple Rain Title. :)
Ooooh, I like plummet or plummeting too! This is simply gorgeous, Paula...you've captured that sort of frosted translucence of their skins so beautifully.
