Apple Slice - painting a day

"Apple Slice" 5x7" oil on canvas panel, available at my Etsy store.

It seemed like a logical progression once I cut the apples in half to keep going and create ever smaller sections. Who knows where this will end? I do feel I really caught the color of the green glaze in this little Japanese dish.

And on the science nerd side of life, I've been reading about color vision in other animals - it turns out some animals, like geckos and hawkmoths can see color in very low light conditions. Almut Kelber has been doing some very creative research determining whether these organisms can see different colors. Humans of course can't see color in low light conditions, so in the moonlight everything looks gray.
