i saw a similar picture in france and decided to render it. It is on a 3' x 4' 1 inch stretched canvas. It hangs over our mantle peice. My wife asked for a pears painting. She loves it. I am starting to do a series of pear paintings.
I like this still-life. It is pleasant to me as you have managed to transfer the texture of subjects, as you could transfer light and a shadow. Very beautifully.
I Think I saw this and Commented on Art Critique...in fact I know I did vbecause I mentioned the Bowl...Amazing...I can tell its Ceramic , Id have more shadow under the pears though to contrast the Light Tones in the skin

I like the colours and the bowl but I don't think the pears are sitting naturally.
