patient virtue stare
wait becomes much to bear
plump auspicious pear

I thought I had ruined this. I was almost done too. I had planned to have the stem much longer, and the leaf (or two) were going to be larger and bend down closer to the fruit. I botched the shape of the stem connecting to the leaf, and I had to scrub it all out. The paper was stained, and the only thing I could do was create the leaf to cover it up. Don’t you think that little lone leaf is just about perfect? Such an amazing surprise!
I bought some pears today. I read that you do not want to put them in the fridge until they have ripened. It stops the process. I always leave mine out, I think they taste better at room temperature. I have some Laughing Cow cheese, and I am going to make a Grilled cheese and pear sandwich with that. I also found an almost ready mango. Heaven is waiting on the counter!

Good luck to all the artists on day ten!
Have a terrific Tuesday!
This pear is pretty darn cute too!
Thank You Sandy! So glad you like it!
Hey Sheila,
This is pretty! It just might be my favorite! I love the colors, and the leaf. I’m tellin’ ya, a collage of all these pears is going to look beautiful on the wall !!! And wouldn’t they look awesome in different colored frames, and different sized frames, mixed in with a few mirrors! One can never have too many mirrors!
Good Luck with Day #11.
What a cool idea Joan! I once saw a room where pears from different artists had been collected and they covered two walls of the room. Some were hanging on a clipboard. (I guess the home owner collected those too. ha ha) It was an awesome display!
Have fun tomorrow Joan!
Sheila, thank you for inviting me to be a friend on FB. I feel I am getting to know you better. The miles keep us from visiting as I would like. I can’t sing, but I love music, and I am finding, I can’t draw, but love to see what others are able to draw. Thank you
Thank You Sandi, I wish we could see each other more often too. I hope you all are doing well. Thanks so much for visiting me here. It really means a lot to me. I’ll tell you a secret.. I can’t draw either. SHHHHH! ha ha ha Well I guess I should say, I can not draw as well as I would like to.
I enjoy your thoughts as much as your paintings! So glad I met you on this challenge.
Aww, thank you for that Karen. That really means a lot to me. I am glad we met, and I am so looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful paintings!
