Is it my imagination, or do these apples handpicked from a local orchard have more personality (rosier red, more velvety yellows, interesting dimples and curves) than the perfectly generic Pink Lady I could have picked out of a pile at Safeway?

They are gorgeous and absolutely more personality. sues
As a painter of homegrown apples my self, I heartily concur. Perhaps that's why this painting is so wonderful, but it also has to do with your keen observation and the wonderful colors in play. p.s. I tagged you on my post today - play if you like!
Thanks for these comments, folks! I'm glad you like this painting. Yes, it's been unseasonably cold (15 degrees this morning and some snow down) which while uncomfortable for walking is a reassuring sign that we still have distinct seasons up here.

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".
