and just one more pear

Finished this a couple of weeks ago but somehow never blogged it.   I think it's my favorite thus far.  The reflections posed quite a challenge, as I was working from a photo reference that really didn't show them.  (I know, I know, a real artiste works from life....but I work slowly and have no desire at this point to do paintings of rotting fruit.  I never claimed to be a real artiste anyhow.)

Pear with Ribbon 2, 10 x 8 inches, soft pastel on paper. Available.

Here's a little diptych of the two pear/ribbon pieces that I made to post on Flickr.  Aren't they sweet together?  I think they're calling out for a third.

There is more painting going on, despite the lack of posts.  The painting has slowed because there is also crocheting happening at the moment (a very beautiful shawl which I will soon be sharing in its own post).  And because I am preparing to move, and because my mother had knee replacement surgery on Friday.   Oh, and I took a week off so I could have bronchitis again.  Mom is doing great, but the move is looming large.   I'll keep you posted.  I have big plans.
