2 Red Apples

6" x 8" oil on canvas panel
This is the third in my series of apple paintings! These 2 apples are from our old apple tree. The tree has had more apples this year than any other. We have been enjoying many apple pies (possibly too many). The apples are sitting on a scrap from the posts that went into the Little House restoration this summer. I needed something to elevate them for a better composition and I like the color of the wood. I am going to try to get at least one more apple painting before they are all frozen. I have not had much painting time as we have been pushing ourselves to finish the studio. We are getting close! We put up shelves on the tops of the knee walls to cap the top of the wall but leave the large beams exposed. I tested out one of the shelves with my favorite little vineyard painting!
