Pear. Still-life drawing.

This is my still life drawing of a pear. It is done on drawing paper with pencil and is 9x18. I took a pear and placed it on a table so I could draw it. I then was able to eat the pear to draw how it looked with one bite out of it and then what it looked like eaten all the way around the pear. This was just a fun drawing that I did.

How to eat a pear

First choose a pear that is ripe but firm.
Cradle it - wait -
for just a moment
before you sink your teeth into its tender flesh.
Savour the sweetness slipping over your tongue
satiating your desire.
Let its juice dribble down your chin and onto your fingers.

Eating a pear is best done alone. It is not
for group consumption
unless at a polite dinner party
where you use a knife and
feign indifference.
By, Liz.
