A Pearo version of Cezanne's 'The three Bathers'

Ok, it's silly season and i'm having so much fun with this. I have painted the background 'Cezanne style' building up the layers of colour and then turned my attention to the painting that Pearo has on his wall. Paul Cezanne was considered very innovative and was the first to include everyday backgrounds into his still life paintings. So I wondered what sort of painting Pearo would have on his wall. Whilst considering this I thought of how often a womans body is described as pear shaped and then started looking at Cezanne's paintings of nudes. This one caught my eye. It is called 'The Three Bathers' and was painted by Cezanne between 1879 and 1882.



I thought it would be fun to substitute the three nude women for three peeled pears. Here is my Pearo version.





I also substituted the lake for a plate filled chocolate/caramel sauce for the pears to bathe in. It makes me chuckle each time I look at it.

Anyhow, here is my progress so far.
