Better hurry....looks like it's almost a goner. Nice piece.

There's a lesson in reds and greens in this lovely little pear now given its bit of painted immortality. Hope it makes a nice breakfast tomorrow.

I love the pear's pose and the unusual background for it. The subtle blue-gray sets off the red-orange pear so well. Very nice!

It occurs to me, Julian, that what we're seeing in these beautiful paintings of fruits and vegetables are the "executioner's portraits"--a last look at their delicate beauty, before they are juiced, strained, peeled or otherwise prepared to be gobbled. Well I don't blame you--this pear looks luscious. Wonderful light.

Wonderful,Julian! Wonderful Julian! The "skyline",behind the pear is by itself,worthy of a whole chapter of a book because,in a way,that tells the history of modern art.
