"Pear Trio" by Brian K. Raynor


The ancient Chinese believed that the pear was a symbol of immortality because pear trees live for a long time. In Chinese the word "li" means both "pear" and "separation," and for this reason, they say that to avoid separation, friends and lovers should not divide pears between themselves.

I painted "PEAR TRIO" a few years ago. It is a small painting. Acrylic on canvas board.
