These Three Pears

Some little pears from my garden that I originally did in watercolour, I painted them several times on different paper but couldn't get them right. (It's easy to blame your tools when it goes wrong!)
But in the end I went over the top with coloured pencil and liked it more.

I agree with everyone else's comments, of course (gorgeous color and form), but what I also love is the whimsical layout.
