A Nice Pair

Ooops, did I spell that wrong.    Well, it will probably pull in a ton of visitors to Dabfly Arts.  So I have a challenge this month of painting fruit in a group of three.  So far, I drew three that I liked, and painted them the way I liked, and am generally happy with them.  The problem is that now I am going to have to do the thing that I hate the most.  I hate it because it seems I take a relatively good painting and make it a horrifically terrible painting by doing this.

Can you guess what it is?  I need to add shadows.  you can definitely see that one pear is behind the other two, but there are no shadows on any of the pears and none on the table.  What to do.  I really like the green and yellow and brown that I have going in this picture and really don't wanna ruin it, but in order to make the picture complete, I'm gonna have to.

The question I have (for myself) is how long do I stare at this picture before I go ahead and attempt the shadowing.  I will probably get to tomorrow and have the finished product ready for you for the weekend.    Be sure to check back soon to see how it turned out.
