  8X6 125 For Sale On Etsy This is an image taken at the Farmer's Market in Cincinnati several years ago . I found this image on Etsy and the owner was kind enough to let me work from it. I want to do this in paint.  

I used an underpainting in this composition to create warmth. A large part of a painting is the compostion or design. I am concentrating much effort in setting up the still life. It is difficult to find the correct balance of objects and color. I chose to soften edges and leave areas of the painting abstract. My intention is to lead the eye throughout the painting and create a visual dialogue of movement. This oil painting is 16 by 20 inches on stretched canvas. If interested in purchasing any of my paintings please email. Paintings may be purchased through my Etsy shop.

In searching for a subject I turned to the 3 bags of apples that I had stored in my refrigerator. I knew that I wanted to paint an image with many multiples. The silver tray has been in my husband's family for many years and provided a good surface for the apples. I liked the reflection. The umbrella I have had for several years. I at one point envisioned suspeding them opened from my ceiling. I decided that wasn't a very logical solution in my stufio which is small. SOLD
