Thanks to all for commenting.
For more insight into color mixing, the palette as I remember, was: zinc yellow, primary blue (PB 15), not remembering the red? possibly Naphol, Burnt Sienna, and Ultramarine. Color seems a bit raw to me. With this in mind. what color relations might I have come up with to make it more convincing and less contrived?

 

[Artyczar]

It doesn't seem contrived to me, so I couldn't give an opinion on this. There are so many great painterly markings I can't see the color variations being any sort of issue.

Gorgeous, love the reflections

Patrick, It's the values that require attention, not the colour. If it don't look right, it's always value.
Ps...don't shoot the messenger ☺

Maybe values could be broader. Perhaps the form shadows on pears could be darker. However, values can be good and color can still be out of harmony.

I must be blind to good art? This looks like a perfect painting to me.

 

[Desforges]

The only pear I’ve ever painted. And it is floating.

 

[Artyczar]

Beautiful Jocelyne.

I think that my pear was a little naive.

 

[Enyaw]

That is an excellent painting, nothing naive about it.

 

[Desforges]

I had forgotten about these pears. need a chuckle?

 

[Artyczar]

They're not funny, they are awesome!!!!
