Pine Cone Branch

Scrub Pinecone

I love to look at all kinds of artwork and I receive some daily collections in my email.   A recent painting of a single apple grabbed my attention and reminded me that sometimes an ordinary object in thick oil paint can be so beautiful.   With a painterly touch, it can even rival a more complex or busy scene.  

During spring clean up, pine branches are everywhere - a very ordinary sight in New England.  Depicted in an oil painting, it seems much more than bland and ordinary.    This is especially true if the bright spots have pink and blue and mint and lavender!
