Pears and Pitcher

Pears are a favorite subject of mine to paint.  I’ve done lots of them.It is generally better to paint 3, 5, or 7 pears and not an even number.  Some think that two objects can be boring, but three is exciting!  In this painting I tried to remember a technique I learned from watching Julie Ford Oliver’s web site and blog.    She calls it fracturing (avoiding too many sharp edges) and she achieves wonderful results with this.
