Wonderful balance of colours.
I love the reflections in your vase. :)

Beautifully painted, as always.

I'm having trouble deciding what the focal point is - my eye cannot settle. I like the pears and I like the flowers ... I wonder if they belong in the same painting?

I would love to hear your thoughts on the decisions you made when setting this up and what your intentions were. Thanks. :)

All three pears seem as if they are about to roll or tip over. I don't think this goes well with the more solid and "heavy" vase.
