"Apples and Wine" was a painting demo from one of our Saturday morning painting classes. You can't see in this small jpeg, but the violet highlights in the shadow areas makes this piece a little jewel. Rarely do I paint a piece without flowers these days, but I think the apples are alive enough to roll right off the table.

Here it is! The finished piece, "China Blue and Citrus" (24"x20").

I had so much fun painting this one. As you can see, I spent hours loosing myself in painting the vase. I like it so much that I am featuring it on my Holiday Open Studio invitation.

The original is already sold. Two of my favorite collectors had seen it half finished on my easel and they said,"We need to have it!"

Luckly, it will reproduce beautifully into a fine art reproduction print on canvas. So look for it on my PRINT page shortly. www.lisapalombo.com/PRINTS.html.

I will post it on my blog when it's done. I also plan on showcasing it at my annual Holiday Open Studio (Nov 22nd & 23rd).
