*Red Pear with Leafy Branch* - SOLD

*Red Pear with Leafy Branch* original painting 4x4

Painted in acrylics on smooth gessoed masonite, this red pear was purchased from a display at the grocery because of it's beautiful coloring ~ painted standing in a corner of my counter, with light coming from the window to the right. The pear is actually a luscious darker red than the photo shows. Our weather today was not the best for picture-taking. Background is made up of light green with a touch of blue, and a little pale yellow ochre. Simple and lovely, in a realistic style, and brush-coated with a satin finish for protection. Would look well in a 4x4 lined frame. Signed on the front and also on the back with title and medium used. Click title above to bid on eBay, thank you.
