You chose the interesting perspective of looking up at the apples with the deep blue sky as the background. The solid cool blue of the sky as it’s seen when you look directly up. Everything looks crisp and sharp and perfectly ripened with the definitely sharp light source and shadows that you get on particularly clear days. A living still life.
Your bathroom door is an incredibly interesting depiction of objects being side lit at the time of day when the sun is casting the longest shadows. It’s the shadows that are the central focus, giving a wonderful casting of the objects’ profile which you don’t see directly. Again you explore light as revelatory of the structure of the doorknob and lock by using the shadows it creates.
And your Amish laundry day incorporates the architectural structure of the simple whitewashed house structure with its parallel lines broken up by the soft vegetation and the colorful dresses. As you often do in these historical buildings you tell a story here too. You aren’t just painting a house. You’re painting a story of who lives in that house as a inquisitively wondering on you part. The dresses are plain in structure and all alike but they’re colorful. Does one woman live there? Is it more than one woman? And you’re struck by the cleanliness, not only because the dresses have been washed, but because the house is white and clean and even the porch floors look shiny, reflecting the white of the walls. It’s very nice. Very clean and crisp. There is beauty and wonder in simplicity.
