I found this little red pear in the supermarket many months ago and snapped a bunch of photos. It's one of many pears that I've painted. What is it about this fruit that inspires so many painters to use it as a subject? For me I think it's the curvature.
For those of you who "watch" my work, thanks for sticking around. Some of you know that I needed to place my mother in a nursing home back in March. Since then my work has been neglected. Priorities needed to change and I was daunted with the juggling of responsibilities. I cleaned and reorganized the studio this week and decided to give daily painting, or at least 4 times weekly, a try again.
By the way . . my mother has adjusted well to her new home.

Beautiful painting...yes, I think you're right about the pear and the reason we artists love to use it for a subject...the curvature.
ReplyDeleteI know, somewhat, what you're going through...I have an older mom living with me, and I know balancing your art and home responsibilities can make a person crazy. lol
Hang in there...your art is beautiful.
Love this pear Ria. Its not easy getting the curves of the fruit..but you did it. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMy Dad is in a nursing home due to a fall and will be coming home soon so I understand what you're going through....I found painting was my time to unwind and relax...with that, I'm looking forward to your next painting.
Thank you for this beautiful painting !
