Here is a 16" x 20" acrylic painting inspired by a still life by Paul Gauguin. It is the eleventh in a series of Gauguin inspired paintings I am working on. In this work I changed the subject from some exotic purple fruit he painted in Tahiti to ripe avocados which are more familiar. The shape was the same and the purple provided a good background for very ripe avocados. I have done this type of copying before and I find it very helpful in understanding how an artist works.
The best way to easily see most of my paintings for sale is to go to my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/bill.ives2 - and look at Photos and albums within Photos. I have three photo albums covering my art. One is for discounted pairings under $100. The other is for most of the rest (over $100). The third is for paintings that I have either sold or ones that are not for sale. However, if anyone is interested in them I will paint another version for them on commission. I will ship anywhere and have shipped art works as far as Australia.
