Bartlett And Fellow Travelers

                                                   An original acrylic painting, on gessoed panel
                                                   7x5" unframed
                                                   $200.00, (plus $8.00, pack and ship)

     The fruit that we buy at the big, mid-western super-markets is, of necessity, often
picked in the far corners of the country and the globe, especially when it is out of season.
So, of course, it is often picked when it is still green and hard, in order to travel well
in shipment.  Then when we buy it, we can never be certain that it will ripen into a
juicy, delicious treat, or simply spoil.  This pear for example: it was still green and hard
under that first, hopeful blush of color, but it did look promising.  Only time will tell.

     The composition of this painting is pyramidal, with an informal balance of the
light and dark value patterns.

     Giclee fine-art prints of this painting are available.
