Still Life at the Art Students League

My first still life painted at the Art Students League in New York with Pionk. Mr. Pionk was a master at pastels, and a true genius in still life. His touches are evident in this work. He personally added the little highlights to the apples. He always insisted on keeping highlights to a minimum, but placing them well. I was very saddened by his passing from lung cancer recently.
