The vase and pear are part of a series of oil paintings I am doing. The vase is the central subject matter in the series. I am intrigued by the vase; its
color, shape, and design on the vase. There is intense color throughout this picture. The color in the other paintings is more subdued. The flower and its relationship to the vase and pear deepen the space in the painting. The combination of these visual interests creates a sense of quiet and peace for the viewer.
