The chips on the bowl are so necessary - you know how to do it!

I'm enjoying reading Ruth's book, Julian.

I agree so much with Evelyn Mahrt about the chips.They look like clouds for me,slowly drifting across the painting above a green ocean and suggesting the movement from the left to the right side: as a symbol of the irremediable passage of time;the everlasting motion...

Loved Apples in Green bowl. Great composition and especially loved the insertion of terra cotta chips in bowl edge separating the complimentary colors. Excellent. Hope you get a great price for this.
Just bought 3 copies of Ruth's book for my two daughters and my 97 year old Mom. They all love her writing (we are all great readers and love a well written book). cheers, geo

Painter’s notes

The same apples though they have reddened/ripened over the few days since I last painted them
