Red Apple Box

Red Apple Box, Oil on Linen, 18x32

I hope 2015 is getting off to a great start for everyone!  

I found this old red box in an antique store in the fall, and fell in love with the color and  texture of the old wood showing through where the paint has worn off, and knew it would make a great still life "shelf".   I had so much fun painting all the different reds.  My paintings tend to be primarily in the gray tones, so to play around with so much color was a blast.
