Juicy
6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas
$100 unframed (no frame necessary)
The luminous, juicy flesh of the cut orange wedges with the light coming at them from different angles was so much fun to paint, and an interesting exercise. The cut side of the far slice is facing the light so I could drop in all those petite, glistening, reflective dots on the wet fruit segments, which was enjoyable once the base colors were dry. But the near slice was perpendicular to the light source, so no dots of light (except on the peel); instead, the delicious way the light glows through the thinnest part of the translucent orange flesh like a stained glass window was utterly satisfying to paint. Yet another #foodpaintchallenge painting that allowed me to use my favorite complement pair of blue and orange. Photo reference courtesy of @dennispfeil.art .
