Man with Hot Pretzel cart

Copyright © 2009 Linda Apple

"Hot Pretzels"- sold
oil on canvas - 8"x10"

One of our familiar scenes in the city are the food carts
with one of my favorite items - Hot Pretzels!
Caught this young guy pulling his cart to his special corner
to begin his work day.
Many, many years ago I attempted this job. All I remember is that
it was a LOT harder than it looks and.....I didn't last very long :)

Two Tricycles


Copyright © 2009 Linda Apple
"Touching Trikes"
oil on canvas
Large - 20"x30"

This large painting was a commission from a previous
client who wanted a painting with red & blue old style
tricycles w/shadows. This one was really fun but needed
a bit of research. I found out that it is not as easy
to find the old metal trikes anymore........

Woman in Black - art museum

Copyright © 2009 Linda Apple
"Bold in Black"
oil on canvas - 8"x10 "-sold
Art Museum Series
A couple weeks ago on one of my visits to the museum,
I was drawn to an older woman visitor who made
a strong impression on my artistic eye. Dressed in a
flowing black coat she made a bold expressive statement
similar to the large abstract expressionistic paintings
of artist Franz Kline.
