Description
Nothing says delicious like a pair of yellow pears ripened to perfection for your eating pleasure! In many cultures the pear tree is a symbol of divine sustenance, abundance and longevity. The shape of the pear has represented the female form in the art world for centuries, creating a strong symbol of fruitfulness and femininity. The pear tree is known to live a long life and produces an abundance of fruit for decades.
'Pears on a Wooden Table' won an Honorable Mention in the Pastel Society of Maine's Member Show. Juror of Awards, Ed Higgins, had this to say: The obvious technical merit of this amazingly photorealistic still life is usually not enough for me to deeply engage with a piece, but this artist won me over with a few key poetic passages. Notably the fabulous color field behind the right hand pear, beautifully and effortlessly applied. The shadows on each fruit, almost figural in aspect, giving stance and personality to the subject. Most of all I was astonished to find myself enraptured by the wound on the left hand pear. It's a powerful compositional eye stop that effectively draws us in and feeds our minds with poignant metaphors for life that we all can relate to.
