Apples kept coming up in the last day and then I went to Whole Foods and they were having a sale on my favorite type of apple: Pink Ladies (actually I pretty much won’t eat other apples). It’s amazing how much one needs to know to paint a decent apple! And how I’ve done paintings six times the size of this in seemingly less time. Fruit seems to be the topic today for many daily painters…

Very nice, I wish I could paint.. I plant to try one of those Sip & paint spots, seems like fun..
Sip & paint? Oh, where they ply you with wine, and then tell you how step by step what to do? Well, any painting is better than no painting!
I love the fact this is such a small painting. Very nice, and the colors are so vibrant.
Got to say I am with Genae–I did not get the painting gene, so the Sip & Paint places make it fun for some of us…but realistically not fine art.
Each to their own niche, but I love that you are talented and serious.
Thanks, Joan, but it’s really not a gene–more like years of training and practice–the gene theory gets you out of both!
They look yummy! Gotta say that I’ve never tried the pink ladies- usually go for gala, but now I’ll have to try these.
PS- sometimes it’s the smallest things that are the hardest.
I love Pink Lady, an awesome apple! We get ours from France here in Sweden. Apart from those I love Swedish apples. Aroma , Ingrid Marie, Cox Orange mmm Unfortunately I’ve rarely had a very good apple in US. Huge, with bright colors, yes, but no real fragrant taste.
Love you interpretation and the bright blue! 🙂
Wow! I’ve learned about a different kind of apple today! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with us!
What an exquisite little painting! Thank you for sharing, Carol. I do some painting and I love to paint fruit, flowers, veggies, etc.
Absolutely lovely, I can taste the pink lady …declare skin ,very juicy apple.
Superb job Carol. Small can speak volumes . I’ve been painting small 5×5 landscapes , trees, and whatever moves me .
One of my fav. Artists Mary Medrano paints small she did small dog portraits I think 50+ paintings .
Thanks, Ruby, let’s chat soon.
This is my favorite of all the paintings you’ve blogged about this month, and I’m not just saying that because I live in apple growing country in upstate NY.
Sure, Alana…then why are you saying it? Where are you in upstate? I went to college in Ithaca…yes, Cornell.
