digital watercolor Still Life with Pears

I took this picture as a reference for painting a still life, and then applied the watercolor filter to see what it would look like as a painting. The watercolor filter is a really good learning tool to figure out how to paint an image. The filter removes a bit of the reality of the image, and reduces it to the component parts which makes it easier to understand and interpret.

Still, I think it stands alone as a viable image, even if it is a digital painting.
