Dark pear study

It has been some time since I last posted a daily painting. Have been working on still life paintings for the upcoming exhibition in Persingen (last weekend of june.) Yesterday my friend Rosalien presented me with a number paint tubes dating from the previous century. I tried, and the paint still seemed to work. I had some pears in my workshop, so I decided to paint this small pear-study. Hope to be able to do some more postings next week...
