Apple?

The following images came about between 28th November and 30th November '10, the apple is seen as good at first, but once bitten it is found to be rotten hence the worm. The obvious symbolism of "the forbidden fruit" is there. But it's not just that but the thought of not seeking God first in all things and in that seeking the submission of the desire to "eat of the fruit"(the things that separate us from God), before we realize that what we have just done has given us nothing but a rotten taste in our mouth...









I thought of adding a hidden image of a skull...

...But than when I added a green tinge to the apple it looked a Little like Elvis, if you remove the glare




I thought the worm would add the effect I wanted the skull to have....



Maybe a slightly more attractive apple....maybe?


Not quite what I in visioned but it works

Then there was tree

The tree was created on the 22nd of November....

November 17 2010-a new start

So I started a new canvas on 17th November and now 1st December have decided to make a blog of it and other things that come along.
The Canvas is 1mx1.2m and I am attempting to work on it for a year and here are the first images of it thus far.





You'll notce a second canvas there, that is T's, my daughter, this was a project aimed at the kids as we are natural learning home schoolers, but I have taken kinda "stolen" the idea for myself, but tat is ok as it, in a way, gives a chance for me and the kids to spend time together.
