Eve's Ladder Première peinture Gisors

Je venais de revenir des Etats-Unis en France, en région Normande à côté de Gisors oû j'y suis venu pour étudier et peindre en vrai ce pommier , et donc sans présenter son tronc !!!
Avait expliqué encore donc en anglais :
Summer 2000, Gisors, France.
Acrylic on canvas 59 x 45 inches
Logo for Devon Cider, England.
This apple tree.... A ladder.... Do you see the trunk?

There is an old apple tree in the yard between the house and the atelier of Pissarro. I set up my easel on the property, and painted a series on this favorite theme of mine.

Under the moody Normandy sky, for the painting at the right, however, I started in Gisors, two miles away, and completed it at the Eragny Studio. I set up just under a magnificent tree in the center of a jardin ouvrier

Jardins ouvrier are public patches of land, allotted to locals, to grow vegetables - these days more for leisure than for necessity- and where the gardeners compete for the biggest cabbage, the heaviest eggplant..., the smokiest Sunday barbecue. They were nice with me, lending me their small wood shack to shelter the paint material at night.
