Apple and Iron
(18" x 18", oil on canvas)

Few things capture my attention more than great contrast.

The juxtaposition of the bright apple against this old cast iron pot provided me with contrast of not only colour, but also of tone and texture. The apple looks brighter, crisper and brand-spanking-new against the antique background of the pot, while the pot's darkly aged texture is in turn amplified by the freshness of the just-peeled apple.
