In the height of apple season, my neighbors apples hung over our fence so I picked a few.  Not only were they sweet, but they had the most delicate coloration.  Soft green with hints of pink.  I am sorry I'm not a better photographer of my work.  The photo just doesn't capture the subtle color of this piece.

Painted last fall, these are heirloom apples from our backyard tree.  Also pictured is my favorite little basket to paint.  In some of my previous paintings it has held peaches, eggs, and now apples.  When the basket is not posing in my studio, it often holds freshly fried tortilla strips for dipping into our home grown guacamole.  Yum!

This painting was from August, when things were ripening in our garden.  Branches are from our apple and pomegranate tree.  Our poms would not be ready to eat till October, but while they ripen they go through beautiful color changes.  Clean pinkish red this early.
