The pear symbolizes Christ's love for mankind. Pears are members of the rose family and related to the apple and the quince.
This is the second painting of pears that I have done. I love the fruit, the color and the taste of pears.
The French painter, Paul Cezanne was influenced by Cubism, a style of art based on spheres, cubes, cones and cylinders. Cezanne was famous for working with conical and spherical forms in fruit. He used basic shapes and laid thick, structured and chiseled brushstrokes on canvas. Cezanne created several painting which included this marvelous fruit.
I'm sure this will not be my last painting of pears.
