#245 Three Pears 11/9/19

Today is Saturday, so I painted in the morning and I painted in the evening.  Tonight: three pears.  Last night Steve and Mary came over for pizza and beer.  Mary brought chopped pineapple and 5 pears.  We cut up 2 of the pears and ate them...leaving three.  I told her I was going to give the left-over pears a photo-shoot in the morning.  By mid-morning Dave had eaten one and I only had two pears.  I took pictures and sent one to Mary, telling her I was too late to get the third pear into the shoot.  So she sent me back a picture of three pears on her kitchen table.  I used that photo here - she set them up lovely!  I tried to keep all the edges "non-sharp" - I wanted to go for a painting that was completely "painterly".  I painted those pears over and over, trying to get them right.  Not sure if it's because my sketch was a bit off or what.  But finally I grew weary and called it done.  The wood table in the background is a bit dull though, I might work more on that later.
