#2109 "Saugeen Hillside Apple Blossoms"

This was the fourth demonstration piece for the Southampton Art School's Wind Waves and Weather 2018. These wild crab apple blossoms on the steep banks of Scubby's Point caught my eye. These blossoms were just feet away from the purple wild irises of #2108 "Saugeen Hillside Wild Iris" for which this painting is intended as a partner. The very rough panel made it impossible to paint detail which was fine by me. The impression of the flowers came together with some quick stabs of pigment.
Crab apples are essentially the same as apples except that they bear smaller and tarter fruits. These trees were holding the soil on the steep banks of Scubby's Point. The birds and the bees were visiting the blossoms as I painted.
For this and much more art....
