“Apple Postcard”, Oil on Board. One lovely thing about painting is that working on a painting helps make a lovely moment linger! As you work, you meditate and percolate on the memories that the image provokes. Apples are in my heritage as my Mums family were Irish apple growers from way back. I always see apples as a symbolic link to that ancestry. And just a tip, forget supermarket apples- what a fraud! You need to eat them fresh picked, and where possible, straight from the tree! As were these lovely specimens in NZ.
