An Apple a day keeps the doctor away

Yes, it is glowing from good health!
This apple was my first attempt at the Apple Challenge but ended up too realistic so painted over it and got it looking more like the Challenge but you can see it at my Daily Painting Challenge blog.
The Colors I used were lemon yellow, ultramarine blue, a touch of cadmium yellow and Cadmium red and my brush was hog hair "8.
