This still-life painting depicts three Bosc pears against a dark background. Their placement demonstrates a sense of balance in form and space. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the three-dimensional quality of the fruits, infusing the artwork with depth and realism. Painted with Flemish techniques, the process involves building the image through multiple layers of paint, adding richness and detail to the composition.
About the Artist
Artist Art Tatin creates realistic still-life compositions inspired by classical techniques and masters. After years of exploring surrealist and abstract styles earlier in his career, he discovered true artistic satisfaction and inspiration by returning to traditional painting methods. In pursuit of grace, he draws his reference material from his neighbor's flower bed, a bird's song, or a produce aisle. "In our hectic and stressful modern lives, when we often overlook beauty, I make it my goal to capture it," says Art. He emphasizes the importance of composition in his creative process, considering the relationships between objects, colors, and angles. While Art doesn't have a traditional studio, he separates workspaces to control dust and lint, which is crucial to keeping foreign particles away from his works. Beyond painting, he enjoys reading, watching movies, sitcoms, and tending to his home and backyard.

Artist Comments
"For this piece, I thought it would be so much fun to articulate a painting within a painting," says artist Jose H. Alvarenga." "The image on display is of a lime in the process of being finished with the real subject next to it."About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.Words that describe this painting: still life, classical, realism, fruit, Harnett, Chardin, lime, still life, classical, representational, oil painting, brown
