"Ten years ago I did a small still life with an ovoid shaped jug in it.
It was an enjoyable challenge getting the patina, shape and reflections
in the painting. This summer I again tried the same subject but on a
grander scale. The apples are not real- they are the wooden crab apples
you can buy at any country gift shop. My wife made the basket and quilted
runner. They are all early American items as well as being rural. The
runner took a long time to paint due to the variety of patterns. It is
interesting to note that when art students major in surface pattern in
college they always use gouache when designing patterns for clothing,
wallpaper and other products."
