I picked out this apple for its heart-shaped blush.

Through the course of this project I've learned that the same apple cultivars can look drastically different when sourced at the grocery store vs. the farmer's market.  This Pink Lady apple I found at the Union Square Green Market was the most beautiful, all-over nail polish pink.  All of the ones I've seen at the grocery store are a more striated pink and green and much larger.  This one was small and delicate - perfectly pink.

On every Christmas morning of my childhood I would wake up to find that Santa had left me a stocking full of treats, and without fail there would be an enormous orange and an equally giant Red Delicious apple at the bottom of that stocking.  I have to believe the Red Delicious was chosen for its stocking filling potential rather than its taste or texture.  I know it must be someones favorite, but it isn't mine.  For reasons of nostalgia though, they'll always hold a place in my heart.

The green apple.  

I've been sick the last few days and I'm just now starting to feel better. Maybe if I'd been eating these apples every day rather than painting them I wouldn't have found myself in this condition.

I once forgot three of these apples in the scarcely opened fruit bin of my college fridge.  To my surprise six months later they were still good!  It's worth noting, however, that my criteria for what passed as "good" food may have been a bit more relaxed in those days...
