Day 58
I've been looking at a pear tree that grows
across the street from my daughter's house, and
admiring the huge pears that grow on that tree.
Yesterday, after getting permission from the
neighbor, I walked over and picked a pear
that had leaves close to the stem.
It made quite a nice model to paint from, and
never tipped over even though it had quite
a lean!

Hummm! elle me paraît très juteuse cette poire et sur votre toile elle paraît danser... Bises
That is one fine looking pear:) Beautiful job!
The painting has this great dynamic tension, as the pear rests on the tip of the leaf. I like to shadows too.
This is beautiful, Claire! I hope the neighbors get to see your lovely rendition of their pear.
Beautiful pear, and I particularly appreciate the swirling leave !
Beautifully painted, Claire. Love the pose.
Did it taste as good as it looks??? Totally yummy! (comment from Beaufort Diane)
Thank you for the comments everyone! Diane - I have not eaten the pear because I decided I had to paint it for a third time from a different perspective. I have become pear-obsessed!
