An Apple a Day #7 "The Masters"


Each of these 8"x8"squares is an individual painting, one for each day of the month of July. Some of which I have already posted and, if you have been following An-Apple-a-Day, you will recognize a few.  I selected one for myself and a few days later I brought my granddaughter to the exhibit so that she could select one for herself also.  She did not know which one is mine, and, fortunately, she did not select that one for herself.  Now...the quiz:  tell me which one you think I chose for 1) myself and 2) which one my 9-year-old granddaughter selected for her very own.  The first one who correctly identifies one or the other  gets a postcard from the great state of Minnesota from me. I'll show you both of them on Thursday, March 3.
(Start at the top: the first square is July 1...and the last square is July 31--got it?) Added later: make your choice before you read the other comments...more fun this way!

The artist's goal was each day to paint something that represented a well-known painting. Those of you who are artistically bent will recognize that each of these paintings is a take-off on one of the masters. Some of you already correctly identified July 27th as a reference to Georgia O'Keeffe.

  2. My guess is that you picked number 27, the Georgia O'Keefe inspired one, and your granddaughter picked number 14, the Snow White witch.

  5. I would imagine the Magritte green apple (July 4th) as your choice and the witch (July 14th) as your granddaughter’s choice. It coincides also with two National Days, July 4th and July 14th! :-)

    (I wrote this before checking previous comments .... Now I see that I'm not the only one!)

  6. I'll guess yours is the 4th and your granddaughter's is the 18th. (If I were choosing I'd choose the 4th, I love Magritte.)

  7. I think that you selected #4 (I would) and your granddaughter selected the witch of Snow White #14... They are all fabulous... what a talent she has!

  14. You picked four down, three in and she picked five down, two in. (If I'm wrong on you, my second choice is you picked Georgia O'Keefe.)
