Apple Slices


12 x 12 inches, Oil on MDF Panel, Price $200., Still Life (Click to Buy)
 
My wife cut up an apple to eat and left it on the kitchen counter.  When I saw that the pile of apples on the plate was quite interesting I hijacked it for a painting.  I actually took a photo of the plate and used that with another apple and a jar of peanut butter in my shadow box to complete the painting.  No she did not go hungry!
