“I'm fat, but I'm thin inside... ", George Orwell



Naturally Thin

6" x 6", oil on stretched canvas

Sold

When I went to the market recently to pick up a few more subjects, I came across some Bosc pears that were unusually skinny and they were plunked right next to some of the fattest, almost obese, Bartlett pears I've ever seen. I couldn't help but wonder if there might soon be a rumble between these two seemingly rival gangs. I can spend a lot of time in the produce section, needless to say the kids refuse to go shopping with me anymore...

  2. ROB!!! This is really excellent! I love that you used a cool yellow for the background and the warmer yellow tones for the pear...and the surface interface is super. This is totally perfect. I think you are the pear expert.
