I decided to paint this still life for a few reasons:
- It’s been raining for some time, and the weather outdoors is awful.
- I fancied eating some pears, and they inspired me when I saw them in Tesco.
- I thought they’d make a good painting subject.
So, I used my last available painting surface — a canvas board that had been lying around for a few months.
I normally paint on wooden panels, as I prefer them to canvas for plein air painting, but in this case it worked well for a still life.

This is the painting on the easel in my studio where the still life was arranged.
It is now available in my shop.
