This piece was improvisation? Anyway, i love it's warm colors, shiny light and expressive lines. And i like the fact, that piece is still working without any ~little ponies~ allusions

Thank you PigfacedAngel!

I set up a still life of apples and drew directly from observing them. It felt quite natural to be more visceral with colour selection. I didn't want to replicate only what I saw, but also how I felt.

Yes! essentially its a still life for everyone to see, but I suppose fans of 'My Little Pony' would get a bit extra from it.

Oh hehe, no problem. Ashleigh Ball is a singer from the band "Hey Ocean" and I'm also a fan of the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". Ashleigh Ball is the voice actor for the characters 'Applejack' and 'Rainbow Dash' my two favorite ponies. I did a chromatic still life of apples to capture both characters.
