This loose and expressive piece captures texture and translucency with painterly strokes. The peel complements the orange it has come from to form a spiral composition. The painting was inspired by the idea of unwrapping a delicious gift and how the wrapping is part of the fun.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
I am a still life artist working out of Sydney, Australia. My passion is painting fruit and foliage in oils on canvas. The shapes created from fruit give amazing compositions, with strong, bold shadows, complemented by subtle reflected light and translucency of the flesh. Leaves offer infinite opportunities for divine curves, beautiful organic textures and rich shadows. I love capturing the forms of different kinds of foliage and the incredible shapes they make.
I make art because it helps me understand the world around me better. I paint in oils because I love everything about them: their hues, consistency, smell, texture. All my paintings are double varnished to protect the surface and enrich the colours. I hope you enjoy my oil paintings, each of which tells a different story about fruit and foliage, and which celebrate the beauty of the natural world and all that is beautiful and satisfying in life.
