Ripe for the Picking

An afternoon spent oil painting amongst the trees in Lucaston Apple Orchards - surrounded by the beauty of Tasmania's Huon Valley. Each tree held a bounty of fruit, just waiting to be harvested.

This painting was created on-site (en plein air), in the company of a couple of fellow artists. The light shifted quickly as clouds mounted on the hills, making me work hard to capture the sun hitting the apple crates and lighting up leaves and fruit. (No apples were harmed in the creation of this painting.)
