I'm planning a Paint & Wine night this weekend with some cousins....thought apples would be the best subject.  So I went to the grocery store and bought one apple each of 5 different varieties.  When I photographed them upon my return home, I noticed that I should have been more choosy.  This one had half its stem broke off - what was I thinking?  Well, I liked the color patterns, that's all.  Some wouldn't sit up straight and I had to put little things under the bottom so they wouldn't roll to their side.  Next time, I'll pick better.  My photo of this painting doesn't look as good as the actual painting....the colors turned out a bit weird (in the photo).  But I purposefully tried to make the background lighter on the "light" side and darker on the "dark" side.
