I got on a bit of a roll last night, and I did three pears. Just having a peary good time. I am really happy with how this one turned out. I was hoping the background on top would spread some more, but it did not. And there was some interesting texture there as well, but once it dried everything just smoothed out.

There is a long vertical mark on the right side of the pear. A BIG mistake. I guess I must have swiped a dry brush there. It was not noticeable while it was wet. I was going to try to fix it, but I think it works. It works well enough to be my entry today in Sea Dean’s party.

Here is the Love actually version of All I want for Christmas. I think I watch this movie, just so I can hear this version of the song. This girl can sing! and they actually asked her to goof it up a bit. She was so good, they didn’t think people would believe it was her, and not dubbed. OK, so if you have not seen it. The drummer worked day and night to learn the drums in hopes of winning his one true love. You guessed it, the girl with the voice. And Hugh Grant is the Prime Minister, who let the cat out of the bag.

I highly recommend the movie. I have seen it too many times to count.
