Hi Everyone....I am in awe at all of the amazing stuff at the local markets...and pears have always been neat to me...so I created a little homage to the Pear.....I created the piece above with three....at first I was going to do two and call it.... "a Pair of Pairs" but three just looked better...so this is called "Three's better than a pear"....
Did you know that Italy is the second largest grower of pears? and the United States is third? who knew...but I will only eat the ones grown locally....
I also had no idea that a pear had 6 grams of fiber....now that is a good source of fiber for a mere 100 calories...who knew!!!
They are very good for you...so today I am heading to pick up more pears....we grow 5 types here and they are yummy......
This little sketch is my Sunday Sketch submission .....
Happy Sunday!!!

Hi Diana, lovely pear art for sure! Hey I live in Hood River Oregon and nationally we are the second largest growers of pears in the U.S. with over a billion pears grown here a year!!! http://news.opb.org/article/hood-river-pear-growers-try-different-ways-market/ here's a link to a fun little fact sheet. Anyway, happy Sunday.

so who is the number 1 grower of pears? Nice homage to pears, happy Sunday Sketches Diana!
Pears always make a beautiful subject. There are so many different kinds! We used to have a huge pear tree and had more than we could eat.
I never knew all this about pears! Your 3 are wonderful Diana! I love the stitching around them.

I didn't know all that about pears! So pretty!
Your pears look great and now we know even more about them. Thanks.
Your pears look lovely, Diana. I'm not a fan of real pears but I do love to see artwork of them. Nice job and I really like the background for them. :)
Well, yes, thank you, I would like a pear--yours look delicious!
:)
How beautiful! I love the line quality here.
Beautiful textures, design and colors. I like how you show us the element you've started with--the pear outline--and then we can see what you created with it. Makes the process seem all the more magical.
Lovin your pears and the background and frame. I did not know aboiut the pear fiber thing, that's good info!
I love your title! Very, very cool :) Pears are one of my favorite things to draw - I love their shape!
