Pears a’Plenty
Rarely do I paint any scene twice, but this image from free photos on Pixabay still attracts me. Though slightly different from my earlier work, I had the same joy of of the casual rest of each pear and the bold stems and leaves.

Teddycake
Mmmm Chocolate! With a smile on top.

What fascinated me about the free photo I used were all the line designs (laborious!) as well as the colors, so I attempted to paint the image on a large canvas. Below I include early stage photos:
Home Sweet Home
Today is the Feast of St. Nicholas when surprises of sweets appear in shoes and on tabletops and gingerbread abounds.
