Visually Interesting

Sometimes I find myself staring at the strangest things, or photographing them.  I must look like a loon a lot of the time...

Watercolor on paper, 5 x 8 inches.

I found this apply core to be very satisfying to paint.  All the planes and texture of the flesh and the little reflection on the bit of smooth skin on the bottom, they were just entrancing to me.

The flesh was darkening as I was working though and it hit a point where I just had to stop myself form going back and toughing parts of it up.  I think as an art project at some point I will video myself painting an apple core and not resisting the touch up urge.  If played kinda fast it's be like the painting itself was browning!
