"Satsuma Study #1" - 6" x 6" - oil on cradled hardboard panel

SOLD
*
Satsuma Oranges are one of the most perfect purchases. I love to photograph and paint them. I love to eat them. And then I love to write them off as a business expense.
*
It never occurred to me to connect oranges to the holidays until, a few years back, a former employer gave me a Harry & David fruit basket for my Secret Santa gift. I'd never seen them with those brightly colored leaves attached, and sitting next to the red apples and cinnamon sticks, they looked so right. So festive. Every November that memory gets jogged when I go grocery shopping, and I relive it with a painting.
*
"Satsuma Study #1" is the first in a series of three which I will release for sale between now and Christmas.
