apples à la tessa traeger

i was scrounging in my fridge for something to eat when i found the smaller apple in the very back and noticed the very prominent stripe. while the bigger apple has a barely discernible stripe, i immediately thought of the artist Tessa Traeger, who is the featured artist in the current artist challenge i am hosting. 'tis a pity i don't have a clue how i could emulate the background in the original but i have this book of designer papers and i chose the closest colours.

check out the low-down on the challenge here: https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/43246/new-artist-challenge-tessa-traeger

this is an emulation of still life #3 which you can check out here: https://www.tessatraeger.com/STILL-LIFE/3/thumbs

please visit the websites indicated in the challenge and kali's comments for more info.

this of course will not be considered at all for the finals, i being the host of the challenge.

These apples look so delicious - I think they might be the Delicious variety! Good spotting for that stripe!

Great still life and presentation...nice lighting

[Chris Johnson]

Such an awesome still life. Love the slight tilt of the apple on top.

Nicely done. I looked at some of her work on the site you listed. I think you might emulate some of her backgrounds if you post process in a program like photoshop.

Looks very much like her striped apples! Great and a wonderful coincidence (or not...)! Nice comp. Fav :) I’m glad that I’ve looked into this challenge. Thank you for inspiring me through her eyes! 😘
