Very fine work, Rick. The scene is indeed nostalgic and I love the thick palette-knife applied (I imagine) strokes. Full of energy with lovely hues particularly in the lower portion of the painting and great movement with the dancing girls and the nicely visualized marionette. Less sure of the apple quite frankly which I know IS an apple from the title of the painting but seems a bit less satisfactorily handled and less excellently executed than the rest of this fine painting. Sorry for the nit, Rick.
Best regards
Chris
