Mystery Botanicals #24

Professor Pear and the Time Devours

When I look at this scene I am hungry for pears and wish I had picked more of them before they fell.

I know I have only a short time to paint today so I am surprised with myself when I realize half way into it that I am painting 17 pears. Egads how will I ever finish. I try to draw the pears with lines but they want to be sculpted in. I just make everything very rough and only put a few wasps in and then. Oh pull me away it is time to pack up.
