orange and blue

I discovered today that it is a lot easier to paint when you can see. The last painting I posted I feel was a little overworked. Mostly because I was working in a foreign area where I did not have my usual lighting. Happy to be able to paint these clementines again before the leaves shrivel off. This is such a busy week but am trying to fit some paint time in.
This is painted on a 6 x 8" linen canvas. Sorry for the bad photo. In a hurry.SOLD

    Carol,
    Love the clementines in this arrangement. Leaves still look great to me. And, are those new bowls?? Love that little stripe of light blue at the top. I am hoping Santa brings me the Carol Marine Still Life Tripod for my christmas! Yours always look great.
