Today is a collaboration of sorts...My dearest friend,who is now in
Germany for a couple of years, has a neighbor that has a dog....THIS DOG.
She took photos and thought that it looked like a possible painting.....
I totally agreed and set out to create this painting of the dog taking
a nap in the sun. It was fun to do and I liked the final result!

Moments with Edward Hopper

Copyright © 2010 Linda Apple
"Moments with Hopper"
oil on canvas
8"x 8 "Art Museum Series

My paintings are of everyday moments and today's
painting captures that concept for me in every way.
Edward Hopper is one of my all time favorite artists because
his work captured the moments of his time. So, today's painting
is a painting of a man in the moment of viewing the Hopper's
view of his everyday moment.

It may be that our earliest sense of freedom was the
moment we took off on our first set of wheels!
A family on my street has four kids and own this
wonderful old tricycle. Actually it is hard to
find ones that are still in good shape.

Ellie - Anique Teddy Bear

"Ellie"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"

One of my old antique bears. I have quite a little family of them
that sit in my cupboard and watch me paint.
I began a series of portraits on them a few years ago and haven't
done any in a while. There is just something about the old ones
that I love.......no matter how many I see, they seem to acquire
their own unique personality.

My old spinet piano...It was the family piano that I learned on when
I was a little kid. My father played great old tunes on it most of
his life. Now, when I take a painting break, I sit down and play
for a while,it often seems as though he is with me..

"Black Cat and Mouse #2"
oil on canvas
12"x 12"

I was commissioned to revisit a painting that I did in 2007.
They wanted a larger painting and I did a few revisions.
It is fun to go back and revisit an earlier image because
it seems like I can always find things I want to do a bit
differently.

Retro Vintage Still Life Series

Back in the corner of the attic, on the top of an old
battered bureau,sit a few items that still hold a bit of charm.
Mickey seems to be beckoning the old toy horse. A few beads,
and a well read book wait to be used again.

I really enjoy doing these still life paintings.
It may be because they take me back to my childhood.
