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.
