Pear with Blue Bottle

I did this as a part of painting challenge No.52 from A nos pinceaux . I did some minor changes in the finished painting  like eliminating the glass in the reference photo and the background. I think this is the first time I am painting a pear and l loved how it came out as. I must also try painting green pears in the future, considering the fact that pear is a favorite fruit subject for artists to paint in still life. It must be because of the unique shape you can get with each pear.

Literary Pursuit

It has been a while since I did figure painting and I am back painting with this one.
