Your are back my friend. I love this. It is simplistic but so well created. This would look so beautiful in a bakery of pies and breads. The same duo tones and different shades all elegantly around. It would make this the shining masterpiece of the bakery. Stay Always Blessed my FFF Fantastic FAR Friend, ~ CindySue ~

    Thank you so much my special friend and artist for reviewing and for your kind words. I see you have a new, cute profile which image I am sure you created. Creative and lovely as usual! Thanks for the "6". I really appreciate that too.
Comment from Chaxl


This is a very good watercolor. I like the arrangement you painted them, with the slight outline. You're very talented.

    Thank you so much, artist Chaxl, for your kind review and encouraging words. The latter I must say of you also.
Comment from allanoak


This is a great duotone piece. I like the muted background and the contrasting brown pear shin. The "rule of odds" apply very well here. The shapes of the pears are very lifelike. Overall a very pleasing painting. I wish I could do as well with watercolors!

    Thank you, kind artist, allanoak, for your review and encouraging comments. I did this one several years back and found it with "extra" written on it. I must have given the original away. And, by the way, you are a fine artist whom I think could paint and photography well what you wish and endeavor to do.
Comment from Sacred Owl


I like the strength of the colors used on the pears however, at first glance I thought it was fried chicken. I feel the piece is flat and boring. There is no light source, shadowing, or contrast. I find it bland and basic.

    I notice you are new to FAR. Welcome. I hope you will reconsider this rating. I cannot believe you would give such a terrible rating. It is almost exactly like the reference which was made by one of the Master artists. I did have more shading behind the pears but it kept uploading blurred hence I removed that. I've never received such a low rating. Please see my other artwork. Thanks.

    Thank you, artist Jennifer, for reviewing and for your kind words. Nice play on words, but there are three and the pears were golden. I really appreciate your reviewing and support, and your work as well.

Comment from Christine389


It is very clever how you have managed to portray the texture of the pears. The limited use of colour is also very effective. I skipped this one initially as it was blurry but it must have been the upload and this time it's good and clear.

    Thank you, thank you so much, artist friend Christine for coming back when it finally uploaded not blurry. I couldn't understand as it did this two or three probably times. Thanks for your fine review also.
Comment from bpellephoto


This is a very visually pleasing piece to look at Glena. The duotone works. It highlights the textures of the pears.

I have always found watercolor to be difficult medium, but obviously you don't. These colors are rich and bold.

This entry should do very well in the contest... Bob

    Thank you, photographer Bob, for your encouraging and fine review. Coming from you artists as yourself, it especially means a lot. I did this several years ago and found the "extra" it had on it. I uploaded this painting several times because the pears somehow kept being blurred. Also, thanks for your best wishes.
Comment from Jim Hoff


I like how the shading and use of very light color create the realistic shape and texture of pears. The one on the right really highlights the roundness of the fruit. Very nice!!

    Thank you so much for your review and kind words. I have reloaded it a time or two and somehow it is somewhat blurry, not like the original painting extra. However, you are so nice in your kind comments. Thanks again for stopping by.

The golden tone pears are beautiful to see, I like the way you have placed them in this space, love the way you applied the colors and show the way the light falls upon them, also appreciate the way you show the texture of the skin. This is a well crafted, nicely arranged and well presented piece. Best wishes to you in this contest!

    Thank you, my artist friend. You definitely helped me when you told me about the format PNG earlier on. I have reloaded this one a time or two and somehow it is somewhat blurry, not like the original painting "extra". However, you are so nice in your kind comments. I took another photo with my newer camera and hope to upload it, more like it is.
