Really enjoyed painting this one. Its quite impressionistic; I didn’t get too detailed so it leaves a bit for the viewers imagination.

These Braeburn apples with their reds oranges and yellows are excellent subject matter for an artist. This is the first of a short series of paintings using the Braeburns where I am trying different stylistic approaches and lighting effects.
