Pear on a Shelf Still Life Painting

"Pear on a Shelf" 6x8 Acrylic on panel. For some reason this pear was really hard to get the way I wanted. I couldn't get the roundness, couldn't get the light, nothing was working. But we must have Perseverence. After I left a pre-conceived idea behind me, things came right in to place. The hardest thing for me, when painting this way, is to not get caught up in the details. Details come later.  Such  simple objects like this really test ones ability to create form and texture and light. The glow of the pear really shines thru on this little piece.
