Red Apples

Artist Dale Payson employs her unbridled use of color and unique approach to perspective to create a dramatic image rich in shadows and texture, depth and dimension. From its rich navy background to its expressive impasto painting style, this rare evening-lit still life is vaguely mysterious and romantic. Choose it in its largest size to create a striking style statement in the dining room or kitchen.

• A long-time New Yorker, Dale Payson attended the School of Visual Arts over a ten-year span in the 1960s. She returned as an instructor in the early 1980s before moving on to freelance work in display design and book illustration. Ms. Payson's paintings have been exhibited in a number of galleries-corporate and institutional collectors include Nabisco and the University of Minnesota-and her work is found in more than twenty-five children's books. Her images are delicate in color and composition, with a softness that reflects their natural subject matter.
