New painting and random thought...

Apples & Pears 8 x 20 oil on board- SOLD

I probably shouldn't confess this on a public format, but I feel like I just have to say something. I was either very lazy or this was an exercise for my imagination. I didn't have a single apple or pear to look at and I didn't go to the store to get any. I painted this from my head. It was fun to force myself to think that hard about something so inconsequential as fruit, but I appreciate the value of working from the real thing. Maybe I'll redo this with edible fruit in front of me and compare the paintings. That would be an interesting exercise...
