I have noticed that a lot of painters enjoy painting pears so I figured it was time for me to join the ranks. My biggest challenge was to make the red pears not apples...and to make the painting live.

I like it! It looks like pears, not applies to me.

Warm rich colors, I would say you succeeded in making them live. Very nice indeed.

You have achieved your goal. Very nice free flowing
bold stroke painting.

Thanks for the kind comments! I added a bit of gold metallic to my yellow ochre so the cloth actually glows a bit.

Very cool to put gold metallic, it must look great in real life.

Thanks, Heather. It is quite subtle but it makes it reflect the light more and it is brighter I think.
