I've been trying to get a bottom view of one of these pears, and I finally worked it into a composition. Cool.
They taught us in school that successful paintings have lines that lead you to the point(s) of interest, and in general keep your eye moving around the painting. I've never really been able to plan for that in a painting. When it happens ... it happens. Maybe someday I'll be that good. In looking at this painting now, I see some lines that lead to the pears, but everything escapes out the top of the painting. Is that bad?
