This is the final product. Oil on Wood 4 x3 feet.  This piece shows a gentleman with an apple in his mouth.  The man, a friend who at one point considered more than that, has the apple held mid bite in his mouth.  Whether i put the apple there or he chose to bite it himself, is still debatable.  The point to this story, which has become part of a mini series. Is to replicate the idea of when Eve bit the apple in the garden of Eden.  While this discusses such a small part of the story, the idea that when Eve bit the apple is when the two noticed each others nudity, and became embarrassed and self conscious.  To replicate the nudity with vulnerability and the rest stays the same, it was at this moment when our relationship became something we recognized as vulnerable and began holding back.  What exactly caused this, I'm not sure however the demise of something that mattered to me led to this, and also led to the pieces that will complete this mini series.

While I must admit, there is a part of me that believes, diving this far into my own inner psychy may be a little much for even me.
