I remember a time when you had to eat fast to get around an apple before it turned brown. Anyone else remember those days?
In my growing concerns over GM products and agribusiness I’ve been on a quest to find a real, old-fashioned apple. One that goes brown before I can eat all the way around. This has proven to be easier said than done & I’ve seen an organic apple look like it was freshly picked for at least month…ew.

Depicting horses with an animated, illustrative flair, Carle Vernet was a horse lover from a young age. His intimate experience with the animal is evident in his work, as is his passion for the subject.
Carl lived and worked during the French Revolution, and was personally touched when his sister saw the guillotine. After this tragedy his style changed dramatically and he created the drawings below.
These drawings of Napoleon’s Grand Armee uniforms won Carle a great deal of acclaim. His attention to detail is magnificent and each portrait is infused with the personality of its subjects.
