This is painted in acrylic on stretched canvas. I love the way the light shines on apples and the way it interacts with the pattern on the skins. Also the way the apples distort through the cuts in the crystal bowl. See more of Freda’s works: / Boats / City / Fractals / Stillife / Figures Freda’s website

This was taking at the request of my mom who has this bowl of fake pears in it. She thought it would be a great still life on a card and promised to buy it! So I couldn’t resist making my mom happy and took the shot! I guess I take requests now =) LOL

“Harvest” is part of the Potting Shed Series…. we are approaching winter, and it’s time to bring in the harvest.. 216 Views “Autumn is a good time for taking the first steps toward voluntary simplicity of lifestyle because we are generally entering from a position of strength and high energy which empowers us toward further successes. But what if the harvest had been poor or ended in failure? Such an event in life’s seasons could be a failed venture or the loss of employment. Here, we enter into involuntary simplicity. We are forced through circumstances to live with less. We could wallow in a poor me mentality, blaming others for our plight or we can seize the opportunity to begin on the journey to living gently. This journey may be rockier than that following a good harvest, but the sense of urgency is heightened. The initial path may be more painful, but the full journey is just as rewarding.Living Gently Quartely For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad_”...Edwin Way Teale /

“Red Grapefruit” is from The Potting Shed Series.. Watercolour on Arches Paper.. The artist knows stillness is beautiful. He sees it finely. / Then stillness brings a fullness, a lush swelling of the cells. / It is something like a harmonica, an even toned note. / He likens it to a glimmer, freshly blown glass. / He sees the ‘truth’ of art, a dazzling artifice; / he sees the depth of original, reproduced skies. / He knows that what is real is buffered by its form - / no form? no fruit, no color, no signals of the soul. Excerpt from The Artist paints a Bowl of Fruit..Lamont Palmer

/ “Winter Dreams” is part of the portfolio collection..see others below.. Acrylic on Canvas…original is for sale… At dawn, bare footed, viewing as far as eyes can reach, / the water’s edge advances and recedes along the beach. / Before me I see a carpet of half-buried shells of sea-creatures, / tide washed and rippled in sodden sand along the beach. / I move, exploring, sodden sand oozing between my toes, / beyond me the wavelets breaking on the sand along the beach. / Behind me, my wandering trail is blurred and indistinct, / as the water’s edge advances and recedes along the beach. / At mid-day, on the soft dry sand behind the water’s edge, / undressed worshippers lie in the sun that beats down along the beach. / At night, the moon’s reflection at the water’s edge / resembles sea serpents playing in the wavelets along the beach.Michael Williams / /

/ “Apple Harvest” is part of the Fruits of the Earth Collection... Watercolour and Gouache on French Textured paper… Behold the apples’ rounded worlds: / juice-green of July rain, / the black polestar of flowers, the rind / mapped with its crimson stain. / The russet, crab and cottage red / burn to the sun’s hot brass, / then drop like sweat from every branch / and bubble in the grass. / They lie as wanton as they fall, / and where they fall and break, / the stallion clamps his crunching jaws, / the starling stabs his beak / In each plump gourd the cidery bite / of boys’ teeth tears the skin; / the waltzing wasp consumes his share, / the bent worm enters in. / I, with as easy hunger, take / entire my season’s dole; / welcome the ripe, the sweet, the sour, / the hollow and the whole.

/ “Red Delicious is part of the Portfolio Collection...Acrylic on Canvas…see others from the series below.. “Consider the fate of America’s favorite apple. It emerged from an Iowa orchard in 1880 as a round, blushed yellow fruit of surpassing sweetness. / But like a figure in a TV makeover show, it was an apple that its handlers could not leave alone. They altered its shape. They made it firmer and more juicy. They made it so it could be stored in hermetically sealed warehouses for 12 months. Along the way, they changed its color and hence its name—to Red Delicious.” A. Higgins This exotic poem, with it’s imagery of apple tea, and harems of delight, personifies the abstract vision of the painting…the Delicious Apple encased in Ochre…Janis Sipping apple tea and sucking sweetened fingers, / standing by the stall and making my selection; / spices colour-collaged like love, cloves and ginger, / barrelfuls of nutmeg, carpets of peppercorn / elma çay and lokum. Pink mouthfuls, succulent and stacked like building bricks, / construct sweet marbled, sandstoned walls and terrasses cross the bazaar. / The bright gilt teapot, as intric ate, bizarre, / Byzantine as silk and attar, as elma çay and lokum. is tipped again. I sip. / Pink, green, yellow, ochre blocks of nut and syrup, / packed in boxes and tied with minaret-thin ribbon, / and served with sugared cups of apple tea – / squishy harems of delight: / elma çay and lokum.

/ Strawberry tart is the second in the series “Delicious”... Watercolour on Sennelier Not Paper… In the description that accompanied “Blueberry Tart” I referred to the work of a famous American artist called “Wayne Thiebaud”, who stated that his subject matter came out of a genuine experience from his life, from the American world, in which he was privileged to be. He went on to say that it was the most genuine thing which he had done. His subject matter is a commentary on the abundance that is a part of American society and the longings and desires ( e.g. all those cakes in a row) that go along with it. Like Thiebaud, this new series is definitely a reflection of my particular experience… it is at once a commentary on the richness of our culture and at the same time a reflection of my daily life… in addition to being a painter, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen… my belief is that since I have to cook to feed my family I had better do it well, (I have an abhorrence of wasted time), so to that end I have almost as many cookbooks as art books, in fact I have a collection of several hundred cook books… I have mentioned before, that there is a peacefulness, a feeling of rightness when I sit down to paint food… although all painting brings me pleasure, there is a special joy when I paint food… it is as though it is what I was meant to do ... The strawberry is rough like a slave’s arduous life / Vermillion, green, and fuzzy like an inscripted pathway / It tastes like the first candy bar in a child’s life / It looks like a cold soda on a hot summer day / Sounds like the Sirens decepting voice J.

/ “Lemon Curd and Blueberry Tart” is part of the “Delicious” collection..Watercolour on Arches Not Paper… Featured in Light in the Darkness…. This new series is definitely a reflection of my particular experience… it is at once a commentary on the richness of our culture and at the same time a reflection of my daily life…food is essential to life…suffice it to say we can’t exist with out it ... Painting food has a long history and according to Kenneth Bendiner in the comprehensive “Food in Painting”, is a separate classification of Art…He “underlines the central importance of 16th century innovations in food subjects and the great influence of 17th century Dutch art in the development of food imagery”. / He explains, with examples of paintings by the likes of Rembrandt, Chardin, Manet, Warhol and many others, how “food images can be purely symbolic, surrealist, and an element in allegories…he also shows the optimistic, human centered Renaissance spirit of food painting, and the way abundance, success and fulfillment pervade this art”. “But the illusion fails, and time returns us / to noisy cities where the blue / is seen in patches, up between the roofs. / The rain exhausts the earth then; / winter’s tedium weighs the houses down, / the light turns miserly—the soul bitter. / Till one day through a half-shut gate / in a courtyard, there among the trees, / we can see the yellow of the lemons; / and the chill in the heart / melts, and deep in us / the golden horns of sunlight / pelt their songs”. excerpt…Eugenio Montale / / (Click image to link)

In his sumptuous exploration of food images (Food in Painting), Kenneth Bendiner states, that ” food for the art historian can be the one area where conscious rules and dignified ideas need not hold sway - the real urges and concerns of a painter or his society can rise to the surface. There’s a certain freedom in the margins of art - where experiments and indulgence can operate—in other words more can be learned about someone from his backyard, than from the street façade of his house.” The latest painting from the series” Delicious” is “Scone with Berries and Cream. The Berries are a type of black berry, available all year round here… Watercolour on Arches Paper…Featured in Happy Haven… I grew up in a society where tea time was sacrosanct… dashing into the house after school, at four o’clock in the afternoon straight to the table which tea was laid, was an everyday thing… the weather was hot and the tea was refreshing… after several cups, one felt at peace with the world. Clotted Cream came from England in jars or tins but my mother also whipped up a wonderful cream from the top of the milk that came straight to our home from a neighboring farm every day…dinner was much later on in the evening ... You and I are great souls. / And we come together for a time. / We meet over a cup of tea here on earth. Shall we leave our shell and join with each other? / Shall we put down our shield and armor? / What will become of us if we do? / What horrible fate awaits us if we are defenseless? Tea is a time for love and tenderness without fear. / It is a time for sharing and learning and growing. / Come now, leave the battle gear behind. / Brave with me and let’s have tea. E.Grey Watercolour on Arches Paper.. One day through a half-shut gate / in a courtyard, there among the trees, / we can see the yellow of the lemons; / and the chill in the heart / melts, and deep in us / the golden horns of sunlight / pelt their songs* The strawberry is rough like a slave’s arduous life / Vermillion, green, and fuzzy like an inscripted pathway / It tastes like the first candy bar in a child’s life / It looks like a cold soda on a hot summer day / Sounds like the Sirens decepting voice. (Click images to link) Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb, / Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum / In the cavernous pail of the first one to come! / And all ripe together, not some of them green / And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen ...
