Wrap them well…wrap them in lace..
These delicate fruits of mother nature’s bounty…
Coddle them in secret, soft and silky..
Lest in the darkness they bruise and blacken…
Throughout the chill season, unwrap them gently,
Savor their goodness, slowly, so slowly,
The first bite is best, but the last just as good.
Still in the dark feast on the goodness..
Oh what pleasures we take for our own! …Janis Zroback

By negative painting do you mean you define the pears by painting the space around it? I like this effect :D
Thank you so much Mui-Ling…the negative spaces in a painting are of equal value to the positive ones and the same attention should be paid to both…occcasionally I pour paint on a surface and paint only the negative areas, as I did here…it is a good exercise to see whether you have been devoting equal attention to both in all your work…

Also when you paint lace, you paint only what is not there..the holes…
