Red Pear in Low Light

Set this still life up in low light using a 15W light bulb.  Hard part was lighting the panel and palette without influencing the set up.  I had to make alot of adjustments to the color on the wood slab and the cast shadows.  What is normally a dark mixture is not dark enough for a low light condition. 

This is a 5x7 Oil on Linen Panel.

    I saw a pineapple painting in Kauai over the weekend that looked very similar to this in style. It wasn't sitting on anything and the entire background looked liked yours above "the horizon". It was also larger, probably 18" x 18", but it was priced at $725.

    I like your pear more though. The pineapple seemed to be floating but your piece has a country kitchen warmth to it. Nice Job Steve!
