What color is an apple?

At the beginning of class, a watercolor teacher I once had asked us “what color is an apple?” After answers ranging from red to green to yellow, he showed us a painting of a blue apple saying “it’s any color you want it to be.”

I’ve held tight to that sentiment throughout my career-especially when it comes to my commissions. Do you love a flower but it’s pink and you’d rather it be blue or purple or orange? Then I’m gonna paint it blue or purple or orange. Because when it comes to art, it’s what YOU love. There are no rules.
