Markmaking took a fruity turn in January.

It wasn't a deliberate thing.

I just drew a pear one night.

And then it happened a few more times.

It's an addictive shape to draw, I think.

People use the term "pear-shaped" like it's a negative thing, but now that I've discovered how much fun it is to draw and paint pears, I have a genuine appreciation of the shape. It's a perfect thing to draw when you don't know what to draw.
In fact, the next time someone tells me they "can't" draw,
I will suggest they draw a few pears.
Who knows where it might lead?

Pears are a wonderful eloquent shape. I've done my share of them. Then you can eat your model!
ReplyDeleteThis year the goats got some pears.
DeleteWhat fun. I like all of these.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a pear-themed quilt to complement the citrus, which I still think about?
DeleteThese are wonderful, Quinn. Of them all, I love the first simple line sketch best. SO peary! It's interesting how all your drawings are pear-shaped, but each pear is slightly differently pear-shaped. If that makes any sense...

It really does make sense, as they are different varieties of pear! Thank you :)
DeleteEach pear is different, just like in nature. Have you tried pear slices in a grilled cheese sandwich?
ReplyDeleteI've had pears and cheese together but never in a grilled sandwich. Sounds delicious! Now on my list.
DeleteYour drawings are so very like the real thing. I can just about taste that juicy goodness.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice comment - thank you!
DeleteLove your pears! I can never eat the pears I buy without first doing a few sketches. Irresistible!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I am with pomegranates, too :)
