and just one more pear

Finished this a couple weeks ago but never blogged it.   I think it's my favorite.  The reflections posed a challenge, as I was working from a photo reference that really didn't show them.  (I know, I know, a real artiste works from life....but I work slowly and have no desire at this point to do paintings of rotting fruit.  I never claimed to be a real artiste anyhow.)

Pear with Ribbon 2, 10 x 8 inches, soft pastel on paper. 

Here's a diptych with the two pear/ribbon pieces. I think they need a third.

I'm still painting, despite the lack of posts. The painting has slowed because there is also crocheting happening at the moment (a very beautiful shawl which I will soon be sharing in its own post). And because I am preparing to move, and because my mother had knee replacement surgery on Friday. Oh, and I took a week off so I could have bronchitis again. Mom is doing well, but the move is looming large. I'll keep you posted. I have big plans.
