Basket with apples

A wicker basket piled high with pale yellow-green apples dominates the upper half of the composition, its handle arching against a dark, abstractly brushed backdrop suggestive of branches. In front, loose apples spill across the tabletop and more are heaped in a white footed bowl to the right.

Warm golden light falls across the fruit from the upper right, modeling each apple with thick, confident strokes of yellow, ochre and touches of red and green. The background is worked in dark teal and rust in loose, gestural marks that read as foliage rather than describing it literally. The abundance of fruit and warm glow give the scene an energetic, harvest-like feeling.
