My grandson wanted to make apple tarts one afternoon while he was staying with me. While he was simmering the apples over the stove, I snapped a photo of him. I was intrigued by the backlight and the steam swirling around him. This was an experiment with the "how to" of making a steamy painting. I'm always experimenting with new ideas and concepts in my work, and sometimes it takes several tries to get the effect I'm looking for.
