WAITING IN LINE -Sold

yes, more pears, I'm in love with them! the roundness, the texture, the reminiscent female form (after 40!), they seem to take on individual personalities while sitting there posing for me. Don't let the third one from the left boss you around,, she's a little touchy and the plump one far left end is very sensitive about her weight.. This painting has sold and is now residing with Wayne & Dannie Andrews of Columbus, Georgia !!

This is such a fun painting. Each pear is just a fruit, but with its own individual color and shape. Just like people, all sort of the same, but no two identical. I'm glad it sold.

Artist Reply: Thank you David,, my pears all have personality.. it's hard not to see that when I'm grocery shopping,, and looking them over.. hahahah.

Very well observed, and such is the case when we see art in the otherwise ordinary.

thank you for the compliment! What a great piece... I usually find people much more interesting than still lifes (still lives?), but these really DO seem to have their own personalities! Now I'm hungry, too :P
