Week 7 print 3 Pears

This painting was originally painted in 2008. It has had at least 3 backgrounds, and I never felt good about it until this incarnation. There is another painting that goes with it that has cherries!
I finished reading Andrew Wyeth, A Secret Life. Gosh, what a story! I highly recommend the book if you are interested in how an artist makes decisions. I remember when the Helga paintings came out, all the speculation about what was going on. It is fascinating to read the family's official stand on that. This book was written while he was still alive and with his blessing.
Here is the Wiki article about him.

Wow! This one is really wonderful!
You are so inspired!

The previous one, with the birds, is lovely, too. But, these pears and the flowers - wow - you are incredible!

Thanks, again, for sharing your creative imagination.
