NaArMaMo Day 16 - Apple

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is an act of desperation. I was short of time and inspiration, so it's an apple very like the one I scoffed at lunch time. [points at icon]

Apple

Yep, pretty much what the title says. :-P

My NaArMaMo Gallery is here.

I had one with my lunch, specially.

:-D It was a lovely crisp braeburn or gala, can't remember which.

I've just bought some apples, so I can have one with my lunch.

I'm now trying to guess the variety yours is. Spartan?

Braeburn or Gala, organic. I can't remember and they look similar. I've never heard of Spartan apples. Are the smaller ones exposed on the hillside?

Are the smaller ones exposed on the hillside?

Of course, they don't meet EU standards.

The stripeyness is more likely to be Gala.

The new season Discovery are now ripe and the Grenadier cooking apples. I'm out into the garden after my cup of coffee to pick a trug full and make pies all afternoon.

*loves on the icon*

*craves apples* :)

I was going to post the icon as my daily art (it took longer than most drawings too, fiddling with text) but I decided to stay with the hand-drawn stuff for NaArMaMo.

I need to buy more apples. :-)

Looks very crispy and cool!

They've wrecked the lovely little gala apples I used to get by crossing them with something to make them bigger and renaming them 'royal gala'. Bigger and bland. *sigh*

I buy organic apples which are generally a lot nicer and tastier than the others. I avoid those polished and beautiful ones which never have any taste or texture.
