'Dwarf Apple Tree'
Plein Air 4/16/2012
Oil on Canvas
5 x 7
I got up early this morning hoping the weather would
be cooperative and I could do some plein air
painting, and I wasn't disappointed.
All I had to do was walk out into my own
back yard - this dwarf apple tree in full bloom
made a perfect subject for a small plein air!
If you would like to see more of my work,
interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see
here on this blog, please contact me.

Un petit pommier qui vous donnera sans aucun doute de belles pommes à peindre...
Une peinture adorable avec une très belle harmonie de blancs et de roses.
Gros bisous
wow - color, texture and values are singing in this one, Claire. You live in and around such lush outdoors subjects! And...you make it anpoint to paint where it's the best "en plein air". Bravo!
I think it is great that you can walk out your back door and see such beauty...wonderful Claire!o
Beautifully painted Claire!! Lovely brushwork makes this piece amazing!
I love that you turned that 5 x 7 canvas on its side. It emphasizes that this is a dwarf apple tree. It really is a beautiful piece, Claire!
Beautiful blooms in this dwarf apple tree!! Love the colors and how wonderful just to step outside to do your painting!!
How lucky to have this gorgeously flowering apple tree in your yard, you made a beautiful painting out of it!
Really lovely.
Merci beaucoup, Martine. Les pommiers en fleurs ne durent pas longtemps sur l'arbre, et j'ai été très chanceux d'être en mesure d'avoir une belle matinée ensoleillée de les peindre.
Thank you Pattie! I do love putzing around the yard and growing things - and the side benefit to that is that they make some interesting painting material.
Hope that you are continuing to do well!
Thank you, Dana. So many times I have seen the blossoms on this tree and thought 'I really want to paint them'...then when I find the time there are miniature apples forming and the blossoms are gone. I was very fortunate that my timing was better this year!
Thanks, Azra - I did try to keep things loose on this tiny little canvas!
This tree really is small, Sherry. It produces apples, but since I don't like to use poisons in my garden, they get scabby. I harvest them and take them up as a treat for the deer in the woods.
Thanks so much, Jane. It really is a very pretty little tree!
Thank you, Hilda - it was a gorgeous morning to paint outside.
