| Pomme Poms (10"x10", acrylic/canvas) SOLD |
This week's challenge on the Daily Paintworks website involved painting values and apples. I found two apples in the back of my refrigerator and painted them yesterday. As I often listen to Espace Musique on CBC Radio (the French music station from Montreal) my mind turned to the word for apple in French - pomme. As I was painting two of them - Pomme Pomme seemed like a possible title - and that sounded like pom pom (as in cheerleader), so I combined the two for the title.
As I painted I thought about how symbolic the apple has been in art and how often it appears in still life settings......here are some of my favourites.....enjoy!
