An Apple a Day...


Abstract Apple
8" x 8"
Oil on Panel


I bought a huge bag of Red Delicious apples, which are really the only apples that I find consistently tasty. But they were the darkest apples that I had ever seen. I first tried a realist painting approach, but the apple looked more like a dark plum to me. I ended up rubbing that painting right off the panel.

One more attempt delivered virtually the same results.

Next, I decided to go with this abstract approach. I am pleased with the colors in this very simple design. However, it seems I am still battling the glow of the oil when it comes to photographing the art. I plan to resolve that this weekend...I am on a mission!
