Two pink ladies

I like me a nice apple. 

Here's another little study, 22 x 13cm, roughly to scale. Inspired by Phil (the wag) who suggested if I painted two apples then I would have a pear! They are and will almost certainly remain unfinished. I let the colour veer off into a rather cox's pippin orange shade, and it was getting increasingly difficult to pull it back to a cooler and sort of less saturated pink that the typical Pink Lady exhibits. As a result they've got a bit 'overworked' and the paper (cheap, but serviceable for learning) won't take much more. 

So I cut my losses and ate them. Delicious.

Oddly, they now look far more convincing in the photo than they do in real life.
