Pear Painting

[Julie Kenward]

I was grocery shopping yesterday evening and looked up to see these beautiful red pears in one of the displays. I brought home three to see what I could do with them and will no doubt shoot them again tomorrow in better light right before I turn them into Pear, Cranberry and Gingersnap Crumble. :bg3: Tonight, though, I took a quick flash image of one on top of a wooden table, cleaned it up in Photoshop and then took it for a spin in Fotosketcher using their oil painting setting.

There's a lot to like about this, Jules, but I think the best part is the simplicity. Hopefully you'll share some of tomorrow's images with us, too. I can't wait to see the other pair. (Couldn't resist that.)

Hi Julie, I like the simplicity of this. Very nicely filtered too! Nice work! I'm hoping you'll share some of the crumble with us :bg3:

Jules, I like the color tones and the square crop. It looks a little tight on the bottom.

Julie, I like the processing..it just seems a little tight to me all around...particularly on the bottom and left. Great lighting...wonderful textures..you have me curious now about that filter!...hoping to see more!

Jules, I like the simplicity of the composition and the textures are lovely. I think it seems a little tight on the bottom.

If I may echo some of the above....great look. love it, esp the simplicity and texture. I do think, too that it is a bit tight at the bottom.

Hope the crumble was as good as the photo here!!!!!!!! yum

Nice work on this one, Jules! Nice fall colors, too.
I agree with the point made about needing a bit more space on the bottom. If the gold table took up a little closer to 1/3 of the image, I think this one would be perfect!

Julie, Agree with the tight at the bottom. Otherwise very nice.............the lean of the pear to LRC does it for me. Good textures.........

Perfect Pear!
