1a Apple and gold 100x80
100hx80x2.5 acrylic on wood 2026.
A striking textured green apple, rendered in a range of green, yellow, and copper hues, stands against a two-tone background. The upper half of the work is dominated by a semi-smooth, speckled bone-colored section, creating a stark contrast with the deep, intense rust of the lower half. The apple is rendered with an impasto technique that gives it a three-dimensional, tactile appearance, intriguingly capturing light and shadow. A distinct, unique leaf and a short, brown stem add subtle yet effective details to the composition. A blurred gold circle encircles part of the figure, emphasizing its significance. The juxtaposition of the apple's vibrant green against the divided background immediately draws the eye.
