There's something so irresistible about the voluptuous shapes of pears. While I typically don't interrupt that form as it is sheer perfection, I chose to provide a peek inside to reveal it's exquisite beauty within. The droplet delightfully repeats the subject's form, completing the classical lines of composition employing the concept of the "Hogarth Curve" even in a contemporary painting such as this.  My classical training is always evident if one studies my work in detail.
