Red Delicious by Chito Gonzaga

simple works wonders!

We all run out of ideas - have a good rest. In the meantime, I could sink my teeth into this quite happily.

Just letting the paint speak for itself is the key - pure magic, Chito!

You're so good at this ! I love those little light lines round the bottom and right side of of the apple. They indicate the roundness of the fruit perfectly. You've managed such a small simple image perfectly. What is this ACEO that you're doing these miniatures for, hope you don't mind me asking! Perhaps I should know what ACEO is, but I don't !! Louise

Sorry, I've just seen the comments on "sugar maple", you've already answered my question!

Simple or not, this is a stunner with those glowing colours.

Beautiful! So simple and gorgeous, I love it.

Lovely use of colour!

I never thought I would get such great comments from a simple/common apple. You guys are the best.

Wow!! This is stunning!! Such a simple picture and yet that apple is so inviting!!

The subject may be simple, but the rendition of it is pretty special. It's just stunning, and I really love the balance of the colors and the use of light and shadow. It's a very spectacular piece, and whoever gets this in the exchange has just lucked out big time!

Chito, you get so many comments because your works are amongst the best here. They stand out because they are so good! Surely you realise that?! I haven't seen a bad one yet! They are consistantly excellent, and I mean that!

Louise, thank you for the vote of confindence. I really doubt that.
