Just a fun little whimsical piece….I DO love apples and juice 2-3 organic ones each morning, along with other goodies like, kale, parsley, carrots, etc. Gotta have ginger and lemon for that refreshing tang. Look closely and you can see an image of a bird underneath the ink layer…. : ) Gouache layers really well over this dried india ink layer. And then I use Higgins white ink with a dip pen for the flourish. Fun!

Ever read this quote by Picasso? Fortunately I love to paint apples.

What misery for a painter who hates apples to be obliged to use them all the time because they go with the cloth! I put everything I love in my pictures.
