Apple to Apples

Apples to Apples - 6 x 6 Oil on Canvas Board

This painting, done just the other day, was done for the Daily Paint Works challenge.  The challenge was posted about three weeks ago, but I liked the idea of it: the 'Pare down your Apple' challenge, meaning paint an apple with as few areas of color as possible while still having it read as a three-dimensional apple.  Because I happened to have three different kinds of apples in the kitchen, I decided to do all three.

This painting (now named 'Apple Variations') is now part of the fundraiser "Circle of Art" to benefit Food Gatherers of Washtenaw County.  It will be on display at Saline Picture Frame Company until May 20th when all art will be auctioned.  All proceeds will go to the charity.  The link to view and bid: http://www.circle-of-art.net/
