First seen in the christmas in the gallery exhibition last year, Sandra Barlow presents an intense study entitled, Apple Blossom. While the white tinged luxurious red blossoms in full bloom are clearly the central feature of the composition, they are augmented with several buds that are yet to fulfill their promise.  Adding to the visual impact, the leaves are allowed to intrude and spill over the faux matt board that forms the parameters of the painting.  This is a splendid splash of nature that cannot be contained. More is to come; life affirming.
