The only way I manage to paint in the morning is if I am all set up the day before. Why does it take me so long to decide what to paint? :)

Your pair and all of your paintings, wonderful.

Well I just want to take a bite out of this succulent pear!This year I had the best crop of apples and pears in thirteen years but when it came to peak time to harvest my amazing crop with basket in hand I discovered the bears had eaten every single piece of fruit in one night!There was not one left even on the ground.This pear makes me weep!

Painter’s notes

It's rare that I get to paint in the studio in the morning as my window faces east, but today sunlight was never going to be a problem... so an early morning pear
