The Ageing Pear

Portraying still life in the form of a fruit past its prime.

Decay in the leaves and the changing colours of a ripening fruit have been portrayed true to form. Incorporation of a whorl in the body of the pear was an added twist. A coming together of pure earth tones depicted in the yellow browns of an over ripened fruit and the muddy greens of a decaying leaf. 

"As for my next book, I won't write it till it has grown heavy in my mind like a ripe pear: pendant and gravid, asking to be cut or it will fall."- Virignia Woolf.

Creation of 'The Aging Pear' was inspired by Virginia Woolf, author and Margaret Pandone, digital artist & photographer.
