Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pears forms one of three subjects included in my still life portfolio. To highlight my artistic vision, I created five episodes posted to social media over the past two and half weeks. Each episode focuses on a theme using a different grouping of pear images created from 2004 to present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each episode, I present aspects of my artistic vision. To engage you, I injected humour, as well as related episodes to current events. At the same time, to create a personal connection and complete the story, I augmented the episodes with personal ad hoc images and clipart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I titled the presentation \u201cAn Affair with Pears\u201d. For ease of finding the full story in one central location, I created a blog (Spirit of Analog Art) category with the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The episodes include a short discussion to set the scene and a slide show. For your convenience, I converted the slide show to a PDF file. To view, just download the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Episode 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My affair with pears started in 2004 as I was studying various subjects to expand the content of my portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a shopping trip, I was in the kitchen positioning a group of pears and visualizing making a unique statement. About a week later and another group of pears, I created the following images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7      Pear Affair 1 (strength)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7      Pear Affair 2 (love)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pear unique characteristics including their suggestive human form, individuality, and personality captured my interest. These images were my first foray into still life photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2010 at the 5th Annual Black & White Spider Awards, Pear Affair 2 was honored with a nomination in the Professional, Still Life Category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see from my logo, Pear Affair 2 was my inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My composition objective is to create innovative pear images that are playful, mischievous, fanciful, and sensual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story continues \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
