  I love them - not only to eat, to cook but to draw and paint. Love the shapes and stance their presence bring to 'the table'.  :)  I have been doing them for years, for the reasons above but also by way of exploring colour, texture, design and to play with paint/mark making. A few here from over the years (below).  ink, pastel, oil and acrylic as well as ipad drawings, hockney & warhol inspiration.  Over at the art gallery under the heading PEARS you can find some for sale . let me know what you think .... more pears (available) to be uploaded here
