Here You Are: My Renoir

     There is a painting of two pears by the French artist, Renoir.  It is, to me, simple perfection.
     I used this painting as inspiration for today's photo challenge prompt: "fruit".  I staged the pears to resemble the painting and photographed them.  Then I used some fun filters in Photoshop to give it a canvas/painted look.

    1. Nooooo. Oh my gosh, I didn't mean to imply that I painted it. I photographed the pears then used some Photoshop filters to try and make it look like a painting. I changed the wording on my post so it hopefully makes more sense! :)
