For the Love of the AppleOriginal 18 X 24 Inch mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas. Ready to hang. An ordinary apple becomes a shared present moment. The dog waits, wide eyed, not just for a bite, but for belonging. Another soul lingers nearby, a quiet witness. Around them, bubbles rise like blessings, capturing the beauty of pause. Curious gazes. The slow hush of presence. This is devotion dressed in color and play, a moment suspended between begging and

one cradling a playground where joy and friendship wait to return

for the ones who feel the tremble before truth

It’s what happens when feeling finally rises to the surface

A garden of pieces

The butterfly appears again

Fire once consumed her

Beneath it all

The wind doesn’t just move

But some things are meant to be remembered in color

A tribute to curiosity and connection

Curious gazes

Roots drink deep from childhood soil while branches stretch toward ancestral stars
