This was my 5th or 6th painting in ArtRage if you don't count failed attempts. Let me know what y'all think.

A dark and realistic partial rendition of a very malformed apple and thus somewhat unclear and malevolent. It is opaque and unsettling. Is that what you were going for?

I love this! A unique perspective and the deep red and texture is so good! You've painted this beautifully.

Well I'm not at a point with ArtRage or painting in general to pick a mark and really accomplish it so yes and no I suppose. I wanted something that was realistic but didn't look exactly like my reference photo. I dabble in a little photography too so I took the photo of an apple I had of the not so round variety sitting on a table next to a window. I stopped down quite a bit to create the dramatic shadows in the reference photo to have something to work from. Overall I was pretty happy with the result it looks dramatic which is what I was going for when I took the original photo.

What kind of drama were you going for?

Well drama might not have been the best description but I couldn't think of another. I really like a lot of shadows and window lighting in photography. It seems to go nicely in paintings as well. Thanks for the kind words, I'll keep practicing hopefully I'll improve with time.

I think it's a spiffy apple in a very dramatic lighting situation that shows a taste of the color and texture (like flavor) rather than the whole apple. Like I just took a bite and it was delicious.

I'm a bit too late to this conversation probably and I can only repeat what everybody else already wrote, I just love how 'dramatic' the picture as a whole is! I know that's what you probably weren't going for but that's what I, personally, see in the picture :)
