The Pear

My sister and I had the privilege to paint a Pear for display in Pearland, Texas.  Not only does the Pear depict Pearland's former mayor, Tom Reid, but also it highlights many of his achievements during his time in office, primarily with education, transportation, and art and culture. 

Mr. Reid was instrumental in building Pearland's first library, which bears his name. He served for approximately thirty years as Pearland's mayor and retired with the designation of Mayor Emeritus. 

My sister and I collaborated in painting the Pear. We were lucky that it squeezed through the front door of my home. And we quickly realized that it takes...a lot...of paint to cover a four foot pear. 

The entrance to the Tom Reid Library is depicted over his shoulder.
