Daily Paintworks challenged us recently to paint signs of Fall in our area. In Southern California, the signs are subtle. My plumeria and Hawaiian ginger blooming? No, that's not it. We have lots of crows around, but they wouldn't hold still. So here it is...Fall at our house means Dutch Apple Pies. I use my corer-peeler-slicer. That red handle was perfect with the yellow green, but the painting would need more than one spot of red, so I hunted down an old cloth napkin with red apples on it. Bingo. I had my painting. Thalo blue and cad yellow light makes that Granny Smith green.
What a terrific painting! Love the red with the green and all of your paint strokes.
ReplyDeleteKaren I really like what you have done here. I love the spots of red. This whol painting is so pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteYour subtle reflections are amazing, Karen. Beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteI am curious about this tool, and it's a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteWow- fabulous painting. I just love painting green apples and these are gorgeous. Awesome reflections of the red up into the apple!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with all! I love my apple corer/peeler. Used it all the time when my boys were younger. All of these elements put together made for a gorgeous painting!
ReplyDeleteKaren, this is such a great painting. The greens are stunning. As you know there have been apple festivals around here in NW Arkansas lately, and your painting would have been a hit. I see it already has!!!! Congratulations.
