9x12 Oil on Board
These items fascinated me for two reasons.  The red in the shadow was a surprise.  I thought the pear would show as a wider shape between the red areas on the table.  The shadow would have been wider in a view directly from the top.  It was also a challenge to make the glass area look transparent enought and add all the glints in the pressed glass area.  I actually finally got it after purchasing a white from Winsor and Newton called Cremnitz.  It holds better, it actually sits on top of the surface of the painting and stays very white.
