Pears

I made a tactical error when I laid this out--can you guess what it is?  That's correct, there's no way to crop the page so that I'm not sacrificing other pieces, like the one I did last week, which you can see in the upper left-hand corner.  Dang it.  What a boneheaded thing to do.  
It was fun to paint, though.  Love pears.  Especially love that their shapes are very forgiving.  My husband was commenting that we still have as much fruit as when both kids were here.  Maaayyyybbbeee.  I do like fruit!
It is March 1, and the daffodils are starting to take a careful look.  It's a good thing, too, since the temps are supposed to be well below freezing tonight.  I also saw some crocuses when I was out for a run last weekend.  I'm so slow, that I have enough time to survey every square foot of foliage I pass.  
This is the same palette as last week.  Check here if you're interested :) ....
