You're the Apple of My Eye!

Oh Where... Oh Where... did the Summer Go??
I cannot believe we are talking about school, fall, and Halloween already!
That being said, the "Fall Season" is my favorite of all. The leaves changing, pumpkins, cooking ,hiking, and  the cool crisp air. I enjoy going to Kimberly, Oregon to pick apples and traveling to Hood River for a fall weekend. I return home and the house turns into a cooking factory. The house becomes filled with the smells of cinnamon, apples cooking, and pies in the oven. 
I created several small paintings of apples just for the "Fall Season". 
The first is a tiny abstract painting called "Two Apples". The painting only measures 2" X 2". 
"Two Apples"
The second painting is called "Yellow Bowl of Apples". The painting is small and measures only 11 X 14 inches. I have owned the yellow bowl for years and found the red, yellow and blue colors working all 
together in a seasonal way. The lace table runner is filled with an intricate design. It just says "Apple Pie"

The third painting is super TINY! It measures only 2 x 3 inches! 
The painting is called "Apples and Sunflowers". Painting the miniature lace was a challenge because when you paint this small you have to keep everything in scale. I also painted on a large weave canvas so the texture shows through. Miniature painting is interesting and provides the artist a totally different perspective.
 I normally paint on canvases that are four to six feet wide!!



I created several products from the three paintings. The theme of course celebrates the "Fall Season"!
The collection includes clothing for children utilizing the theme "Smart Kid Look Out"! The lime green toddler blouse would be adorable paired with red or blue leggings! My favorite product of all is the Apple themed Mason Jars! I bought all three designs for my table for Labor Day. I am going to fill them with sunflowers. The table runners are a quick way to add the new season to your home!
