Jersey Macs
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

These apples, seemingly available only this time of year, are quite small and more regular in form than standard supermarket fare. The skin of the Jersey Mac is a deliciously warm red with cool ruby shadows. The intense red bleeds slightly into the interior flesh, making for unusual and colourful stains. The small squat blue jug seemed to be the perfect shape to accompany these diminutive fruit.
