THE GUARDIAN-6x6 inch original still life oil painting on fine canvas panel. I was shuffling my fruit 'models' around on the kitchen counter trying to decide on the composition for the next painting. When I saw this little pear appearing to look up to the larger 'guardian' apple, there was no question about what I was going to paint...as well as what the title would be! ...and here we are. If you would like to see this lovely painting in a frame, contact me for pics and cost.
