Pear on Table Painting

It is said that schooled artists tend to work on three major themes throughout their lifetime: landscape, the figure and still life. At the time this painting was created, I had been working primarily with the human figure, particularly the female form, so my return to still life marked an exciting return to a subject that had been set aside for a little while. Still life presents the unique challenge of connecting the viewer with the work. It is human nature to connect with the representation of the body and with landscape. We identify with the person in the picture or with the landscape because we perhaps visited the location. In still-life there is perhaps less of an association. The artist must rely on color, the gesture and textures to reach the viewer. The pear is on a white tablecloth. In the background you see depicted one of my paintings from the vessel series. This oil painting is done on 2/8 inch thick Masonite board mounted on a 1 inch deep pine support. The edges have been painted black. The work is signed on the front. It comes accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
