Apple Dog

September 8, 2017

Apple Dog   11"x14"   watercolor on paper

A painting I did of my brother and his sweet black dog Molly- her favorite treats are apples. This is precisely how I wanted to capture them forever, singing to one another, and sharing in one of their famous adventures.

You're the Apple of My Eye

January 27, 2017

You're the Apple of My Eye   11"x14"  watercolor on paper

This happy trio has spent the afternoon in the apple orchard, picking apples, reading, taking the occasional photograph, and (as the evidence of blankets and baskets would suggest) enjoying a hearty picnic lunch. There really is no sweeter way to pass a day than this.

On this cold and wintery January day, I am most certainly with them in my heart of hearts.
