Red Apple, Green Apple
(24" x 30" oil on canvas)

Last week's painting had an apple wedge tucked into the left hand corner and I so loved it that I started a whole series of pieces built around this new favourite shape! Though apples have always featured prominently in my work, you might say I discovered a new way of rendering this symbol of simplicity. Cutting the apples gives me the duality of the crisp inside flesh and the kiss of color on the skin. I love the geometry of all the shapes and how the bright colors add to the freshness of the fruit.
