Apples....A Still Life..
“As autumn returns to earth’s northern hemisphere,
and day and night are briefly,
but perfectly,
balanced at the equinox,
may we remember anew how fragile life is —
human life, surely,
but also the lives of all other creatures,
trees and plants,
waters and winds.
May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest,
may earth’s weather turn kinder,
may there be enough food for all creatures,
may the diminishing light in our daytime skies
be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance
in our hearts.”....Kathleen Jenks, Autumn Lore

Fabulous, the illusion of gloss is a tour de force in watercolor.
Janis Zroback replied 23 days ago
Thank you so much Norval…I constantly experiment to find ways to give watercolour the depth of oils..the only way is to layer many times…
