Orange Segment

5" x 7" pastel painting

I always come back to painting food art. A fresh, juicy orange is not only delicious to eat. It's also delicious to paint because of the colors. I was surprised how my palette changed with this piece. Finding the right color to portray the nuances of orange was the biggest challenge.

My hope is that you'll want to eat an orange after seeing this!

This little painting is a rendition of the Sawhill Pond area outside of Boulder, CO looking out toward the Flatirons. I used Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels.
