This is a follow up on the color study of a clementine. I’m never completely happy with the colors on the computer monitor. In this case the warm tones especially in the orange and magenta colors wash out and don’t quite match the richness in the painting. I suppose I could go into the color channels in Photoshop & try to adjust them but they would still differ on each computer. You will just have to realize that the colors in any painting are usually a bit richer and clearer in the painting than in any reproduction. This is good reason to have original art on your walls rather than a print or reproduction. Cezanne thought that each object in a painting had a spirit or personality of it's own. I've tried to follow his idea here to give each pear a unique feeling, but also the table top and the background space are objects in the sense that they are planes or surfaces and I've tried to make them fit into the composition as part of a group of four things relating together.
