The Old Apple Tree - Portraits of Animals A little bit of mist among the trees illuminated by the rising sun, tinges of gold among the leaves, but the old apple tree will hold its leaves until they turn bronze in the first frost.

The original is available, framed in a dull antique gold frame and natural white and hunter green mats.

The sketch is done in soft pastels on sanded pastel paper.

... lapis, adventurine, agate, and all so beautiful after a few days of cold and snow. Winter is awfully darned colorful sometimes.

This original is sold but I have prints and gift items with this image.

This was one of those times when the photograph just wasn’t going to work.

I sold the original but always have framed prints on hand. It's one of my personal favorites.

The red stuff on the right edge is Japanese knotweed growing on the creek bank. It's invasive, but always colorful, especially that deep brick red all winter.

At that time I prepared several small pieces of 2-ply illustration board with a fine pastel ground for en plein air sketches like this.

Yesterday I’ve thought why not try to finish it- I just did whatever I’ve fancied, with no photo to look at, so it was intuitively painting. I really like the process…. Always learning
