APPLE IN A BLUE BOWL
I painted this image a few years ago as a demo at the "Home Show" in Daytona Beach. I gave it away at a Beaux Arts Christmas painting exchange. I was eager to see if I could paint it again even better as I belive I did with the "White Pepper." I don't know if it is better, but I do like it!

I am so excited to be painting for myself again! And I am at last getting to the orchids and papaya Jan and I photographed over a year ago!
Jan brought the papaya and a purple dish that day and I showed up with two green orchids that had broken off my plant -- the results were Fabulous!!
