You being a painter understand this well. Everything has a multitude of colors; it was very well illustrated in the movie"A girl with pearl earring", when Scarlet describes the sky as gray, yellow and white.;))<BR/><BR/>=Betsy, thank you so much; funny that the seasonal fruit is so different.;)) Enjoy the citrus fruits then.;)<BR/><BR/>=Lulda, now you have inspired me to bake an apple pie - I might, comes weekend! You are so right, the scent of apples is amazing.;) Thank you for that great comment.;)<BR/><BR/>=Valentine, you should post some of your art, I would love to see it.;) I too was inspired to bake, by Lulda's comment.;)) And I have not had a caramelized apple for years.;)<BR/><BR/>=Mahmud, having seen some of your art I am not surprised that you won prizes already early on.;)) Thank you for the nice compliment; still my paintings are nothing compared to yours.;))<BR/><BR/>=Holly, thank you so much, I remember playing a lot with the orange background. Unfortunately I do no longer own that painting, I gave it away; I only have a photograph left.;)<BR/><BR/>=J Cosmo, hehe, I am sure she is not!;)) Hehe, that was truly a fun comment.;))<BR/><BR/>=noelle, thank you so much! I am sure your abstract painting is gorgeous; you should post some of it on your site, I'd love to see it.;)) Thank you for your always sweet and kind comments.;))<BR/><BR/>=Mel, LOL! Yes, why not, now I only have to bite into many apples to find one with a worm.;)) Thank you for your kind words.;))<BR/><BR/>=sallymandy, thank you for your lovely comment.;) I am soon off to read your "T" list.;) <BR/>Yes, I have been able to leave a comment yesterday, so it is in order now.;))Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-1633465158209327082009-02-26T06:25:00.000+01:002009-02-26T06:25:00.000+01:00Beautiful work...the apples are striking, even see...Beautiful work...the apples are striking, even seeing them reprinted on a computer. <BR/><BR/>I bet it wouldn't take you long to recapture that sense of paying close attention, if you even did it for a short time. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the "T" list the other day....I finally posted it.

Still life and crayons evoke a sense of youthful passion and recognition in me. I still keep the certificate though stenciled on cheap manila card as one of the priceless items in my treasure trove.( Hah, sentimental me!)I like your painting of the apples.Mahmud Yussophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014584046024863994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-21066044127875077012009-02-25T19:32:00.000+01:002009-02-25T19:32:00.000+01:00I remember my highschool art classes too and disli...I remember my highschool art classes too and disliking them for the same reason as yours + the fact that I can never really sit still and work on something for long periods of time. hehe. <BR/><BR/>You just made me want some apple pie, some apple juice and those candy apple's dipped in caramelized sugar.<BR/><BR/>oh noes.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/><BR/>Vj.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13760114828916419711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-77172109290801469102009-02-25T16:45:00.000+01:002009-02-25T16:45:00.000+01:00Still Life is a bit constraining, but, yes it does...Still Life is a bit constraining, but, yes it does teach us to concentrate and notice the subtle beauty, color & form. I find still life boring! :D I'm a collage & abstract kind of artist. Messy and sloppy is what I do...LOL<BR/><BR/>You did a great job on your earlier works. <BR/><BR/>The photo of the bowl of apples is so appealing...it makes me hungry! :P <BR/>But, what I like the best of all is the smell of apples...apple pie baking in the oven..that smell when you bite into a fresh, crisp one.

I am sure if I were to be able to see them "in real life", they must look even more tempting.<BR/>The only time I ever painted apples was w-a-y back in high school and I can remember my art teacher then telling us to REALLY look at the colors in the fruit and I was surprised that I saw blues and purples (besides just green and red). So I think I know what you mean about your fruit still lifes teaching you how to mix paints for the right colors.Gal Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643821953484820115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-13812432675917534542009-02-25T13:16:00.000+01:002009-02-25T13:16:00.000+01:00Fhina stole my comment about the blue!
