Stacked, Stem to Stern

"Stacked, Stem to Stern"
6" x 6"
Pastel on hardboard
I was given a pear ... a beautiful one whose blush originated at her stem and traveled across her plump belly, but dissipated by the time it got to her … stern. She was lovely, but not unique, so I sliced her into thirds, on the diagonal and stacked her in a way that she would be. 

It's pear season where I live — at least that's what Harry and David would have us believe.

    It's interesting idea to slice a pear and connect them together!

      My goal was to make the ordinary … unique. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your taking the time to write.

    I love your take on the dear pear. It put a smile on my face and really and interesting way to do it. Yes I know that Harry and David are pushing the pear season...I have an order in my cart with them and have to decide whether or not I will conclude the order.

      Click the button. Treat yourself to that order. Each pear is a slice of heaven … stem to stern.
