Original Oil Painting on 11″ x 14″ Canvas
by Santa Barbara Tilka
NFS/Private Collection

Inspiration: This Still life was set up on our patio table on a sunny and crisp Fall day.  These happen to be some of my favorite fruits. I felt their colors made a great compliment with the Royal Blue ceramic fruit basket.  Of course I couldn’t resist taking a bite out of the apple. Not only was I a little hungry at the time, but I also thought it would add a little humor to the painting.
