Watercolor on watercolor paper - 5" x 5" (SOLD)
The holiday season clearly inspired this painting!
I spotted this particular apple and was struck that the greens were just as intense as the reds. Normally as an apple ripens just one color dominates. What a rarity!
I loved the color combinations. When I saw it I immediately thought of Christmas! I wanted to paint it. No, I HAD to paint it!
It felt lively and festive....almost like an ornament!
Perfect timing!
Happy holidays!!

Oh, the colors... it's perfection!!!
PS. When I was a kid I used to get an orange or apple in my Christmas stocking, along with chocolate coins and little toys. :-)
Uhm, happy holidays! If the apple announcing Christmas is right, it should be a great one!

Hi Dean,
This is an amazing picture... The apple looks magic next to the intense green...I love it!:)
The image is really alive. Excellent colours and textures.
Good to see you again at my place.
Have a great Christmas!;)
This is just great! Congratulations on your work, Dean!
I love the gradations between the two colors.
beautiful!
You have captured every detail in such an amazing, color perfect, way. I love apples and this one would be 'delicious', is delicious! It's neat how you said you 'had' to paint it, I understand that.
It makes me really happy to see you create art, Dean....this is really lovely.
I am jealous that people can draw or colour well! Bah! :P LOL! Hope you're well Mr Artist!
Joanne!
Well, green is my most favorite color so naturally I'm partial to these colors!

JM!

I liked the transition in colors too. That's one of the reasons that made me want to paint the apple to begin with!

Stan!

I'm glad the auction didn't close before I got back from retreat.
This apples looks so real. Now I feel like eating an apple. Wish I bough some today when I went to the farmers' market. :(
Have a great holiday, Dean!
Merry X'mas Dean!
That painting is awesome! It sure is a rare thing to see two colours on an apple!
Nice. Did you eat the apple when you were done?
