This painting reminds me of my Finnish grandmother's kitchen in the Bronx. She was always baking something. Her apple fritters, though, were heavenly!

24-inch diameter

Commission

I was recently approached by a client regarding a functional art project.  Though I don't consider myself a decorative artist, I have had quite a bit of experience painting produce.  Above is the result--a 24-inch Lazy Susan.  I see more in my future....

FOOD DANCE - APPLES - Linda Popple

6x6 Oil on Panel

Day 16 of the 30/30 Challenge

Stacked apples, carefully balanced makes a good pizza.  The Cooking Light recipe is below.

As I said in my last post, this series is coming to an end.  I have painted a few ahead and those will be the last.  I feel it is time to explore other subjects and I am excited about it.  

APPLE, GOAT CHEESE AND PECAN PIZZA

from Cooking Light

• 
  1 (1-pound) six-grain pizza crust
• Cooking spray
• 3 cups thinly sliced Fuji apple (about 8 ounces)
• 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled goat cheese 
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
• 2 cups baby arugula
• 3 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted

1. 1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. 2. Place pizza crust on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Arrange apple slices evenly over pizza crust; top with cheese. Sprinkle thyme evenly over cheese. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes or until cheese melts and begins to brown.
3. 3. Combine oil and next 3 ingredients (through honey) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add arugula; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle pecans evenly over pizza; top with arugula mixture. Cut pizza into 6 wedges.

Note:

Crumbled feta can be substituted for the goat cheese in this recipe.

Painting Glass by Pamela Blaies

Apples and a Green Glass Bottle

14" x 11"

Surrounded by a sea of cool colors, the one Red Delicious apple in front tries to steal the show. But I think the star is the green glass bottle. Painting glass with all of the dimension, subtle color and reflections is challenging and fun!

I usually do small studies before painting a larger piece, but this time my process got all turned around. As I set out my composition, intending to focus only on a couple of pieces of fruit, the still life just seemed to put itself together inviting me to create the larger painting, In Season. I liked the colors and light so much, I left the composition right were it was overnight and painted two Petites (6" x 6") the next day. Fun!

I really enjoy painting apples.  These green ones are bright with shifts of subtle values.  Fun to paint and good to eat!

Trying to get back into a routine.  With unpacking, organizing, and company it is slow going.  I've done some painting (yay!!!), but not posting.  I've painted this previously and it proved to be a good subject to begin with.  I love apples - to paint and to eat!

How Bout Them Apples? by Pamela Blaies

Granny Smiths and a Copper Pitcher

7" x 5"

oil on linen panel

I've been intrigued lately with these little Granny Smith apples I found at the market. I love their color and that they are so shiny and polished that they catch the light fabulously. Here I paired them with a copper pitcher. Check out my dailypaintworks site to see more of these delightful green apples.

Honored to be Interviewed by Pamela Blaies

Red Delicious

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I was honored to be interviewed by a fellow artist, who features a different artist every month on her blog. It is a very engaging blog with lots of art. You can check out the interview HERE.

Red Delicious was another foray into Pthalo Blue. It makes intense blues/aquas, perfect for this blue glass jar. What really inspired me in this composition was the napkin. I loved the light play of the folds and the cast shadow of the blue glass.

Taming Pthalo by Pamela Blaies

Apples and Antique Silver

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I've gotten a little behind on my posting and blogging. It's been a fun and full week with the kids' end of school parties, getting them ready for camp and my mom visiting. Today I will be working on painting #71 of 100. This petite painting project is so fun - experimenting with color and light, exploring composition and daily practice! On this one, I used Pthalo Blue instead of Ultramarine, just to see what it can do. It is strong and a little tough to tame, but wow, what beautiful deep reds it can make!
