BALANCING LIFE DAY-TO-DAY

4 GLOBES*
14"h x 8"w pastel

Funny how some paintings resonate above others with an Artist.

This is one for me and always have been quite fond of it.

Such a balancing act with the elements. . . as with life. 

All appears calm and orderly, but just takes one slip!

    This is gorgeous! I love the soft folds of the fabric. I also like what you wrote about the balancing act.

    I never thought of life's balancing act as looking so beautiful. This is gorgeous!

    I love the similar values of the apples and the fabric and the subtle reflections in the apples.

    This piece is so great on so many levels. (Pun intended? - maybe)

    I agree about the appearance of stability - so fragile! This is just so beautiful, though, and stable, because it's a painting!

    Amazing that you can paint something that is so precariously perched so elegantly and peaceful.
