This stage always seems to come up when I do a painting, doesn't it?
I was feeling kind of depressed earlier in the week. That combined with my lingering cold and me just plain resisting the process, I put my current painting on the back burner.
Unfortunately that isn't always a good plan when working with live fruit (see photo above).
After several long days, the pears started to ripen....fast....and began turning brown....fast!
Oh crap, I haven't even finished painting these yet!
The good news? I was able to salvage as much of the pears as I could, blocking in most of the shadows and important details. The rest I should be able to improvise.
Time to finish this still life once and for all so I can toss those rotting pears in the compost bin! Gross!!

I think the finished piece is nice. These pears remind me of the 'props' I leave in the fridge. Hubby's always trying to throw them AWAY!
Mary!
I appreciate the compliments on the finished pear painting ("Blue and Gold").
I think you and I need our own refrigerator drawer just for our "props"!
How many times has it happened when I wanted to do a painting of an apple or something but found out somebody else already ate it! LOL
