It Begins Here...

My friend Erica was recently listening on the phone to me go on and on about what I'm currently working on in the studio. When I finally let her get a word in she said, "Laura, you should write a blog about this stuff." As long as I remember that the purpose of this blog is to focus on my artistic work and not the other parts of my life, I believe all will be right in the world. I will try to put into writing the ideas and concepts I deal with when in my studio. (Try being the key word.)

Currently, I am working on a series based on the varieties of apples sold at an apple farm just up the road. The Way Fruit Farm. So far, I've painted Golden Delicious and Apollo's Empire. The working title of the third oil painting is Rome. Many thanks to the gentleman at Way who went to the cold storage to provide me with an actual Rome apple!

I am actually supposed to be preparing dinner, so I'll have to continue to expound in words and pictures just what I'm up to in my studio another time. Stay tuned!

  1. You! You should try to find a variety called Liberty. They are the most beautiful shade of burgundy, and they taste exquisite (we experienced them when WWOOFing at that orchard).
