Pear Art

I think of myself as an artsy-type that's been strewn from doing art for most of the past decade. Getting married and moving away really changed my world, and I just about dropped any and all of my partial talents, including painting. Not that I'm saying I'm great at painting, but saying that I enjoy it, and my simple pieces bring me joy - so why have I waited nearly 7 years to make some artwork for my own home? I don't have the answer to that question, but I do hope that I can continue to play around with painting to enhance my home.

The pear on the right was inspired by a plastic cup I got at Target (on clearance 75% off, btw). The pears on my cup look similar to this pear, and I wanted a pear companion, thus the green pear. I love green in my home.

What do you think of my pears? The 3 friends that have seen them have had really good reactions to them. That makes me happy. :)

I really like them! I got the canisters at Target that match! They were on clearance for so cheap! You are a wonderful artist!

Oh I am jealous that you got the canisters! They only had one of them on clearance when I got my cups. If you see more, you should snatch them up for me and I'll pay you back. I'd love that! And thanks for the compliment. :)

I LOVE the one on the left! I really like the one on the right, too, but the left one is cuter. They look great!
