Pear, Pear, Pear

These pears were just delicious, both to paint and to eat! I  was intrigued with the blush of red along one side. Are pears some kind of rite of passage for every artist? Much the way every pastelist is expected to paint a ballerina! Predictable, I'm sure, but I'm really enjoying my little fruit and vege explorations. I hope you are, too.

These three are on black Pastelmat.

Something new for me, still life paintings! I've also decided to begin to add comments where you can easily see them below the paintings.

This one is on black Pastelmat, which gives it a look I really like. The texture makes it juicy, I think.
