You may or may not realize this about me, but.... I enjoy apples... obsessively. They are my essentials and I would praise you forever if you were to hand me a crisp, cool apple anytime of the year. Literally, one time, after coming home from college one weekend and having a really rough experience, my mother presented me with a fruit basket, filled with apples, pineapples, and fresh fruit of a-plenty. Love ya mom! :) I ask for apples for my birthday but I don't think anyone takes me seriously when I say that. I don't think they understand how much I love apples! Needless to say, they are delicious and filling- my healthy and guilty pleasure. This is one of my super foods that help me to get through my day, and I love how they are so easy to take around. They are certainly a food that influences my life a lot, and maybe that's a bad thing, but for an artist, whatever is influencing their lives the most, they paint. Any other artists out there agree? After finishing this piece above, I have been digging to figure out what I should paint next. I do have other projects going on at the moment as well but.... the apples keep calling back to me. I loved the fun colors I used for the gala apples I painted, and I keep wanting to do another piece of fruit, maybe watermelon (or any other fruit that I have in my kitchen for that matter...) As I was contemplating, during lunch, what I should paint, I picked an apple from my crisper, and put it on my blue plate, and noticed what a beautiful color combination it was. I quickly grabbed my camera to capture such a beautiful sight (here I am, talking about how food is beautiful- which doggone it IT IS BEAUTIFUL!) and quickly snapped some pictures of the apple before I ate it (because I was very impatient and yes very hungry) So the question is, what composition should I do my next apple piece? Want to help me? Below are the picture compositions I would do for my apple piece, then sketch it out and paint it. I m curious to see what others think about the compositions. Any suggestions? Any tips you want to offer? Please speak up! Thanks for helping out this apple-obsessed artist. Man... I need to get a life! The survey button is after the photos! Thanks again! one. two. three. four. five.

Not sure why...I think I like the angle...I think I like the sweat or water dripping down. I love the contrast between the red apple, the shadow on the apple and the blue plate.
