This spectacular original watercolor painting, titled “Apple on Branch” was exquisitely painted by the accomplished artist, Margaret L. Neill. The artist masterfully transforms the iconic apple into a comforting symbol of nature and life.

Vibrantly executed, the viridian green of the leaves express growth and lusciousness. The soft striations of crimson red, pink, orange, and golden yellow give form and fullness to what can be called a perfect apple, ripe for the picking. Compositionally centered with a neutral background, this painting is fetching to the eye and its reduction to a circle, a line, and ovals favor our instinctual relationship to geometric shapes. Defying an impassive interpretation as many people are prone to, Neill presents a dazzling coordination of colors to revitalize our ability to see further into the beauty within nature. Precise application of paint guided by the artist’s intuitive use of color gives a rare source of visual epiphany.

This sophisticated expressionist and minimal piece of modern art is in vogue and offered here at an exceptional price. Enhanced this already exceptional watercolor is a texturally distressed cream and gold frame that lends a natural bark feel to complement the apple. A thin interior lip of burgundy red accentuates the greens and reds within the painting. Measuring 13 5/8 x 11 5/8 in., this gorgeous piece is ready-to-hang. A piece of this tremendous caliber would be a lovely addition to any art collection or home/office décor, and sure to appreciate in value.
