Story:
I painted this in the Pissarro Studio,
Eragny Sur Epte, in October, just after my friend Mark who worked
there in the summer went back to Miami. There is an old apple
tree in the garden between the house and the atelier of Camille
Pissarro. The tree might very well have been contemporaneous
with the life of the great master. A few fallen golden apples were
strewn about, casting a gloomy pall in the late Halloween-day afternoon.
