Mystery Botanicals #6

Left out of the Pair

It is so cold 13 degrees. The pears fall while I paint and I hope that the ones I am looking at stay attached to the tree. They do but others fall all around me with big thumps.

I am still working with a yellow pallet but tending towards the green side. I paint two pears bright and one pear in shadow. The bright pears are almost a couple and then there is tension with the left out pear.

The wasps sleep on the pears while eating them because it is cold out.
