Orange Slices and Orange Stripe
I think I found this little plate at Target last year and when I got it home thought "Why did I buy that?" and put it in the closet. But I dug it out recently and discovered I'm a better shopper than I thought. The square shape and the angular cast shadows go well with the angularity of the orange slices. The color is just the right shade of green - sometimes it's duller than the background, sometimes it's more saturated; I can explore all sorts of subtle shifts of color and intensity. It's a perfect plate!
