Oranges and Peels

New York has had a few days of brutally cold days, unusual for us. It was so cold yesterday I didn't go out to paint at all. I looked around at home for something different for a still life and I found some oranges. This is small...just 5 x 5.

  5. BEAUTIFUL! Yummy and juicy. I love the composition and the texture of the orange peels. I love the dark background. Is this watercolor?

    Stay warm my friend. I hope the polar vortex is gone soon.
