Heritage apple illustration by Sarah Dowling Art in Bristol

My local suburb here in Bristol is home to a beautiful community orchard and as a local Artist I was approached by the orchard who wanted to commission a series of watercolour artworks of their apples that they could have printed on cards and tea towels to raise money to help fund the running of the orchard. Three varieties of local and rare apples were chosen by the community for me to paint and the illustrations were then turned into merchandise which is available to buy directly through the orchard with all proceeds going to them.
