"I filled this exquisite melon basket with the most beautiful apples I could find. The apples were from New Zealand and they were waxy and brilliant in color. I placed the arrangement on top of an ornate flowered cloth. I had never done a painting with the lighting directly overhead. I painted a violet background so that it would recede slightly and still have a warm tone."
