I never thought I wanted to paint fruit. However, another wonderful daily painter and I have been carrying on a conversation on line and I was "inspired" to do this. Hate to tell you, there are more to come.

This is another image from our knarly old tree. I think some folks call the apples Transparents. They have the thinnest pale yellow skin. Maybe I'll paint one when they're ripe.

This image is from a wedding we recently attended. You might remember the bridesmaids and the pink, satin bride's shoes.

We have a small "orchard" in our foundry yard that remains from the previous owner. The house was built in 1936 from mill ends. We are the second owners. This apple tree is very old. If we were better caretakers and sprayed dormant oil etc we would probably have lovely fruit. Since we don't we have lots of rather homely apples. Looks do not affect taste!
