This original piece of art is titled ”Trafalgar 8139, the name is PearO”. It is painted on 22 by 30 inches Saunders Waterford cold press paper, and is signed by the artist.
This is the fourth painting in the story about life on a still life table in which I am exploring various styles of painting still life. This fourth in the series is painted in the style of Paul Cezanne. Hercule Pearo is answering the telephone.
“Welcome to Whitehaven Mansions the home of the infamous Hercule PearO. I am your tour guide, Felicity Lemon. During this tour you will explore this magnificent house, view its exceptional art collection including PearO’s favorite piece; a very special version of Paul Cezanne’s ‘The Three Bathers’ painted especially for him and as yet unseen by the general public. You will even partake in the sipping of the finest herbal teas with PearO himself. First let us enter his office. On top of the chest of drawers just beneath the painting of ‘The Three Bathers’ you can see the prize vegetable marrow grown by PearO himself. But wait, the telephone is ringing. Who can this be calling at such an hour? Hush everyone. I believe Hercule PearO’s superior juices are being called upon once again to solve yet another murder mystery.”
“Trafalgar 8139, The name is PearO! Hercule PearO!
Agent Terry? So glad to hear from you! Now slow down dear fellow. We don’t want you having a meltdown… James Japp has done what? Felicity lemon! Come quick! Inspector Japp has been leading an investigation into the brutal murder of a blood orange. He was convinced that a lemon had committed the crime and held in custody every lemon that was in the vicinity at the time of the murder and interrogated each and every one of them hoping to squeeze out the truth.”
The usually calm and collected Felicity rushed into the room toward PearO looking more than a little bitter. She had never totally trusted James Japp’s intuition.
“Japp always jumps to conclusions and accepts any clue much too readily.” she murmured sourly as her peel flew in all directions behind her.
The teapot and tea cup leaned closer to PearO, hoping to hear more of the juicy details.
A group of apples that PearO had been neatly ordering in a line were sick to the core at the news and as we speak were turning a very strange shade of green. Another group of apples were looking decidedly drained of colour and one of them was even rolling off the table, it was so pale.
“Agent Terry, of course I will meet you and James Japp. Where? On the Orient Express? Certainly. See you this evening. Goodbye”
“Felicity, Pack me some spare peel. I have a train to catch!”

Shipping - please read!
Our intention is to charge shipping at cost, however the shopping cart we are using doesn’t cater for this. The shipping charges you see when you add an item to the cart are appropriate for a single item to Canada and the USA. If you order multiple items it is likely that we can ship for less than the cumulative price the cart will calculate - we will refund the difference. On the other hand, if you are ordering from outside Canada/USA the shipping may be more than indicated. If so, we will need to contact you with the additional cost. Obviously you may decline if you wish, in which case we will refund your order in full.
