Oranges are one of my favorite fruits and I eat one nearly every day. I get a little pushy sometimes with my family, encouraging them to eat citrus. Don't get me started on all the health benefits of citrus fruits.

 I am also fond of some other members of this category including grapefruit and, my special favorite, kumquats, which I always buy at Christmas time when they are plentiful in the stores.  If you are not familiar with these little gems, they are to be popped into your mouth without peeling and to my way of thinking they are the fruit equivalent of a "Sweet Tart" candy. No one else in my family enjoys them, however the up side is that I never have to share.

I have been buying oranges and enjoying them for afternoon snacks. This blue really makes the orange color glow.  

My studio has good light but I usually enjoy working there on a day that really good light is coming in the windows. Today is the exact opposite of yesterday's grayness and rain.  The sun is shining brightly and it is almost seventy degrees. 

I hope you enjoy this bright painting of one of my favorite fruits!

This is the first time I have painted mushrooms and I love it almost as much as I love eating them.  Each one has its own "mushroomality"with little twists and turns that are so much fun to paint. This is the start of my series of mushroom paintings and I really hope you'll enjoy them along with me. 

There are so many delicious mushrooms available that could not be purchased in the past.  Let me know what your favorites are and how you like to serve them.

I have one of those circular apple cutters that quickly renders eight neat pieces of apple.  It comes in handy, but I still prefer the knife.  I had not eaten a Golden Delicious apple in quite a while because they don't seem as flavorful as they once were.  There are so many new and interesting apple varieties.

After the painting was completed, I tried this apple- it did not disappoint. The apple was fun to paint, and delicious. However, my real love in this painting is the tablecloth.  I will show more of it the next time I use it in a painting!
