Three Pears

Another scene from the dining room table...

And below, some pear sketches from my sketchbook.  In December, I had found this fantastic pear at the grocery store that still had a couple dry yet sturdy leaves attached to its stem.  I carefully brought it home with visions of painting it but alas, it didn't happen.  I have since searched for another like it but have had no such luck. But I did find the tall guy above with the twisted stem who was very nice to draw. So I think my searching is done and I can move on.
