I was drawn to the image by the the antique glass and intrigued by the challenge of reproducing those effects in paint. I am really happy with the result.
The apples are primarily cad red, highlighted with cad yellow, titanium white and pthalo blue. The bowl incorporates the same paints with touches of irridescent gold. The background is something of an experiement: I started with a thin coat of carbon black. Then I mixed cad yellow and pthalo blue (heavy on the blue) to get a dark green. I then used a smallish straight edged brush to add thick dabs, alternating green and black.
