After having picked more than 1,400 pounds of Apricots at our good friends' house, we looked upon the fruits of our labors and immediately Janie Hawley spotted these sun kissed apricots in this bowl of hers. She exclaimed at the beauty of these particular apricots and then declared "that would make a great painting!" She turned to me and asked, "If I had you take this home, could you paint this?"A little over a week later I went up to their house again with this finished painting and named it most appropriately, "Memories of the Harvest".

This is the latest of my finished commissioned paintings. I haven't added my signature just yet, but I decided to take a picture and post it anyway.
This painting was for the same person who commissioned me to paint the Hallstatt painting. This was painted from a picture of the Mirabelle Palace in Salzburg, Austria. Shown in the picture is a very small portion of the palace along with the fountain, gardens and the city and fortress in the background. At the moment I don't recall the name of the fortress, but I had toured the inside of it while I was in Austria. This fortress also happens to be the same one as the one filmed on The Sound of Music (or so they tell me- I haven't seen that movie in years).
I will soon have copies of this painting available.
