The Old Masters' realism in their still life paintings and their bold colors have always inspired and intrigued me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333399;"&gt;I work in pastels and oils, painting landscapes and still life. I find that there is elegance in simplicity in a painting. My world-famous pear paintings mostly identify me and my work. The pears are a still life with a twist and take on human attributes. Although the backgrounds vary, the pears hover in family groups, standing alone or falling from the sky.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333399;"&gt;Individuals and corporations throughout the country have collected my works. To date, over 335 pear paintings have been completed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://pircio.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;VISIT RON'S WEB SITE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.southerncolours.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#000000;"&gt;RETURN TO SOUTHERN COLOURS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6220548674729948364-8217394183402434999?l=pirc-r.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220548674729948364/posts/default/8217394183402434999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220548674729948364/posts/default/8217394183402434999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pirc-r.blogspot.com/2008/08/meet-artist.html' title='MEET THE ARTIST. . .'/><author><name>Sallie</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sBYWKwlOOcQ/TMcgB09GUWI/AAAAAAAACUc/UPkF961QV4Q/s72-c/IMG_1092%5B1%5D.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
