Really original subject matter in this still (and frozen) life study a modern twist to traditional `bowls of fruit paintings`.The coloured sticks make a great pattern and contrast well with the icy fridge interior.Another clever piece of work.

The colors that you used are fantastic for this type of creation. The details of the freezer are great. But the details in the rotting apples really leaves depth and drama to the imagination of the viewer. Yuck! lol Great creativity and technique. Thanks so much for sharing.

Forgotten for a very long time. I like the colors you chose to use. The blue in the background reflects well on the floor. The lighting effects are such a nice addition to the picture.

Love it love it love it. I can feel the sticky toffee on my fingers and the sweetness of it all. A wonderful design and those colours really makes it sing against the blue

This is so great Shawn! I love the concept but if you do not mind me saying, I think it would have impacted better with "red" apples. Green makes me feel like I did as a kid eating the green apples! lol I love what you have composed here. Very ingenius!

I can't stop looking at the apples. In a way to me they look like yummy apples that have been doused into chemicals melting, and oozing to nothing. At the same time I wanna get closer to them, because I see city's or grass in them. I can't tell. I can't stop looking into them. Good work!

Wow, you have done an outstanding job on this one. Love the dripping effect on the candied apples that suggest a freeze. Wonderful colors and the background & foreground patterns work very well. REally enjoyed this one.
