Clementine I
8" x 8"

For the life of me I cannot get the intense glow of colour that is present in the clementine to reproduce on the screen. Its as if the camera has a built in censor for glow. But in real life, this fruit has presence and feels as if there is a light coming from within it. All the water in the fruit acts as reflectors and when sun hits it, it does glow.
So now this is complete, its time to do some Christmas baking and a little decorating. Snow is now forecast for tomorrow, so it just may set the scene.

Looks luscious and I'm sorry the camera won't pick up the true glow - stupid things at times when they choose to change a color entirely or can't get a good violet (as mine does). I know this is a little gem of a painting, though, and it makes me want a clementine right now (I think I have a couple in the fridge). Have a wonderful holiday!
What an excellent painting, Jeanette! I wish you all the best for the holiday season.
the blue background looks really good with the fruit :)
Rhonda, isn't it frustrating when you can't get the colour to match? However, close enough for the moment. Merry Christmas, have a lovely holiday.
Thanks Christiane, Merry Christmas.
Blues and oranges are perfect companions aren't they Jennifer?

Best wishes for a very merry Christmas.
