Sonya Apples on Green
(24" x 36", oil on canvas)

The green cloth was a nice change of pace from my usual white and serves as a wonderful contrast to the reds and yellows of the apples. Keeping both the foreground and the background dark provides a heightened sense of drama and encourages the viewer's eye to concentrate on my main subject.
