"Solitary Pear"
When my friend was closing her art studio, she gave away a lot of her
still-life props-- and a lot of imitation fruit. I also bought a
plethora of canvases and boards from her. This little pear has the
sweetest shape, a bit big in the bottom. Perhaps it's a shape I relate
to ;-) as I see it often in my mirror at home looking back at me. This
is also painted on the black gessoed surface. I love the effortless
quality that other artists' utilize, when the paint doesn't go all the
way to the edge and some of the background peeks through. Their pieces
seem to have more confidence. Hopefully this little solitary pear has a
confident, jaunty quality about her.

Laura,
This show great virtuosity.
Love the pear. I can almost taste it. Not as much as my plums, but close. - Ed
Laura, What are you talking about, -this doesn't look anything like you; you're a peach!
Love the brush strokes, full of paint
As always love your colors!
Thank you all. I had to look up virtuosity in dictionary.com -- wow thanks Michael.
It's easier to make the brush strokes visible by using a lot more paint ;-) and trusting the stroke. Easier in oil too, than in watercolor.
