'Fugi'

6 x 6 inch
Oil on canvas panel
Fourth painting in a series of fifty-nine paintings of apples.

Why chose apples for the subject?  Of the several reasons I think the apple gives variation and yet a meditative simplicity was the deciding factor. While I paint I rarely think 'apple'. Usually I am connecting with the brush, paint and surface. Envisioning mentally, before the brush touches canvas. At times the apple subject 
 gives me a little charge when I think how many artists over the centuries have contemplated this simple/fascinating form.
