The Apple Fest
A part of my large painting is completed: an apple part. While painting those little apples I was wondering how many times I did so (never though I painted apples in the water with watercolors :)..
I remember the times (20 or so years ago) when my teacher placed an apple as a part of a still life and explained that the roundness of this "object" will attract the viewer's eye. And it truly did, especially with the metal spoon pointing to that apple:
I painted apples big (a real size):
(on a watercolor Aquabord )
And I painted apples as small as to fit on teeny-tiny 2"x3" paper:
Once, I've even created an instructional sequence on how to paint an apple in six easy steps:
It was cool to imagine how the apple "grew" on a white piece of paper:
I guess, for me, apples are really fun to paint: none of them, even though look alike, is the same. Each has it's own personality:
Just like these two Cuties above were pushing their Brother over the board; or, the freshly-picked apple below is happy to spread its arms-leaves under an afternoon Sun:
Like they say "an apple a day keeps the doctors away"; my apples , quite contrary, surely kept me busy and pretty close to my studio
