Artwork Description

I wanted to describe the mandarin and show tone, light and colour. I found that looking closely enough there was a soft orange reflection from the mandarin onto the plate and the shadows had a slight lavender tint to them.

I set the still life up on a white plastic moulded chair with the plate on a painting board to keep it level and give some grounding and strength to the composition.

Artist Bio

I am inspired by form, light, colour and pattern. I paint and draw because I enjoy it and want to record what I see that’s beautiful. I work as well and find that small paintings help me to keep painting in the gaps between my job and family life. Small paintings are also easy to post! I complete each painting in one session, always working from life.
