Apple Tree Painting Van Gogh The crisp photographic detail captures

The crisp photographic detail captures the silent stillness of a mountain hamlet in the depths of winter

their apricot petals shading to deep amber and crimson at each ruffled throat

In the foreground a lone figure stands in a small rowing boat

Bold brushwork gives each petal a velvety weight

It brings a serene note to a bedroom above the headboard

Apple Tree Painting Van Gogh The crisp photographic detail capturesAn apple orchard stretches toward a blazing sunset in this richly painted landscape. Two rows of laden trees frame a grassy path that runs to the horizon, their branches heavy with red fruit that glows against the dusky foliage. Overhead, the sky burns in apricot, rose and molten gold, the clouds streaked with the last warmth of the day. The oil style brushwork gives the grass a meadowed softness and the whole scene a romantic, end of summer
