The Pear

He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Proverbs 15:15


After working on and off this pear for several months I finally decided to lighten the background and darken the bottom of the tablecloth. Using the same palette for both sections of the painting really pulls it all together. Unfortunately, the stem seems to disappear into the background so I'm going to have to go back and darken it considerably. I also think the perspective is off as there is too much of the table top visible and the ribbon on the right is coming out too high ~ adding a bit of abstract to the overall composition. Almost done!
