SECKEL PEAR WITH LEAF

Day 92

I was so pleased to find this tiny seckel pear with
its little leaf still attached.  This pear is no taller than
one and a half inches, but it is packed with gorgeous,
rich color.  Even the dried leaf had some beautiful
dark golden green.  I was tempted to prop it up to
make the pear more upright - but it's own quirky
leaning stance was just more fun to paint.

Claire this is just beautiful. So deceptively simple and rich. I just wanted to let you know that I have a new blog at http://conservativelybohemian.wordpress.com/ I am deleting the old one, unfortunately. Is it possible for you to add a "subscribe" widget on your sidebar? That way I will always know if you have a new post. I can't follow as easily on WordPress as I could on Blogger otherwise.
