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!!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
