Tangerines on Blue ~SOLD (somebody liked this!)
6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas
$100 unframed (no frame necessary)
This is a low-key little painting done in a classical style. Blue and orange are my favorite complement pair, and this still life shows off the beautiful contrast of these colors in a way that I find so pleasing. The muted blue of the understated surface and the way the tangerine skins glow reddish-orange where their round surface turns away from the light glistening off their pebbly tops was so much fun to paint. I learned so much about creating convincing citrus in working through this piece. I'll have to paint this subject again soon so that I don't forget how!
