10” x 10” encaustic on panel
This painting celebrates the delicate, fleeting beauty of apple blossoms in spring. (The blossoms last only a week or so.) Apple blossoms grow in clusters, and the first blooms to to open, generally the largest, are called king blooms; they tend to become the largest apples on the tree. The tight buds are typically bright pink, but the petals fade to white once they open. In this encaustic painting, the blossoms have lots of texture from carving into the wax on the petals and adding raised yellow stamens in the center.
