The Red Star Reinette (known in German as the Rote Sternrenette and in French as Reinette Rouge Étoilée) is a traditional, heritage apple variety over 200 years old, prized for its deep red skin and distinctive star-shaped lenticels. I love the taste and color of this apple so much 🍎, and I am very happy to have one in my garden.


This loose sketch was inspired by @xtina_gavrilova_art 🥳

A sketchbook is a place for memories, inspiration, experimentation, and simply having fun. With this image, I was particularly focused on capturing the deep red, velvety surface that radiates the irresistible appeal of ripe peaches.

Whenever I eat cherries, I think of my grandfather. I surely inherited my fondness for cherries from him. He had an incredible variety of cherry cultivars in his magnificent garden, and I associate these memories with the carefree summers of my childhood.
