A young man working in produce was peeling these into a large bowl for sampling. He offered the bowl to me and said he couldn't quit eating them. They were delicious. I especially love how easy it is to peel Satsumas and Mandarins. The skin feels as if it isn't even attached. Here are these three, marching forward on a vintage blue William Sonoma dishtowel. I wasn't quite in the mood to paint today. Good thing I had my studio open to to public and so that made me paint. After awhile I was in the zone and I am pleased with the results.

for not being in the mood to paint, i'd say you turned out a great painting...great composition. this painting has a nice bright look and feel, i can smell those oranges. yum! love the top left edge of the foremost orange...
Thanks, Christine. I do love orange and blue together in a painting. And yellow green and violet. Wonder what I could find in those colors to paint today?
Your paintings make my heart beat faster. Such luscious color and texture.
I admire your discipline too. If you just do it, there's a moment when you feel it working and it's the greatest feeling.
Thanks, Mary. Last night I finally ended the day with that feeling! I have been struggling with a painting now for several days but kept telling myself, just slow down and really look and then, finally, I got to that "feeling" of yes, this is just about done, it is working. Today should put the finishing touches on it.
