Three Pears

Decided I'd get more ambitious and try several fruit. I have to admit this one lingered on so long the fruit started to rot. I had to finish the painting after I took down the set up and threw them away, but made a discovery. When I didn't have the set up to look at, or even a photo of it for reference, I was free to make any changes to the painting I wanted just for the sake of the painting itself. This opened a whole new way of working for me. Now when I get stuck, I ditch the set up or reference photo and just work from my gut.
