When asked where the name "An Apple Within" came from just about everyone gets this wrong at first glance. Take a closer look and see if you get it before I disclose the true reason for the name of this art piece.

Most art lovers first guess is that it is an apple within a basin (or bowl) of butter beans (or same). Second guess is an apple within a bunch of carrots. Good try but not so.

This apple was picked out of bag by me when I visited a radio station (URBusinessNetwork.com) to meet with a good friend by the name of Rick Bruti. The bag of apples was purchased from Trader Joes by the creator of "Millionaire Babies". How is that for some free advertising Rick : - D ? This apple would have been in my belly and out to sea a long time ago but I was caught up with the conversations and walked out the door with it. I rushed off to pick up my wife from work and placed the apple in our fruit bowl when I got home. My father was about to take a bite out of this art piece when he noticed mother nature creation and placed it aside for me to see. When I first saw it I was taken by this natural creation. There is a green impression of an apple on the apple which is red. The green impression is also the shape of a heart.

So, did you guessed right?

I took several pictures of the apple on a hand towel with prints of a bunch of carrots. I also took a few pictures of the apple within a bowl of freshly picked butter beans (or same) from our garden. The finish piece was done by adding some graphics to illustrate the truth of the Apple Within (four pointers leading from the center apple to the four corner pictures pointing to the apple within and four pointers leading back to the center piece). The background was added to make the piece pop and confuse others when asked "Why this piece is called An Apple Within"?

This has proven to be a conversation piece by all who saw it in my presence. My personal opinion is a leaf got stuck between two apples when they were green and stayed there until they ripen. If my guess is true then there was a twin.
