Citrus in Bowl-sold


Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"
I hate to throw anything away while it still has some use left in it and that includes fruit and flowers in my studio. Citrus inventory: two month-old limes that are now the same size and consistency as golf balls; some month-old clementines that are holding up amazingly well; 2 lemons; and 3 oranges, I can't remember what type, that I bought because they're a soft yellowy-orange, with some greenish-brown patches, much nicer to paint than the bright orange of other fruit.

Really very nice. I like everything about this one. It's bold and quiet all at the same time.
