Tangerines are a favorite subject, especially when I'm in the grocery store looking at the gorgeous contrast between the fresh leathery green leaves and the bumpy orange skin. I always have good intentions when I buy them, but somehow it takes me days to get around to painting them, and by that time the leaves are starting to brown and curl up. These were fortunately painted within the first day or two of acquisition. A lot of the lights in the tabletop were done by wiping out. I use a smooth gessoboard from Ampersand which allows me to work back into painted areas and lighten and remove pigment.
