“When oranges came in, a curious proceeding was gone through. Miss
Jenkyns did not like to cut the fruit, for, as she observed, the juice
all ran out nobody knew where, sucking [only I think she used some more
recondite word] was in fact the only way of enjoying oranges; but then
there was the unpleasant association with a ceremony frequently gone
through by little babies; and so, after dessert, in orange season, Miss
Jenkyns and Miss Matty used to rise up, possess themselves each of an
orange in silence, and withdraw to the privacy of their own rooms to
indulge in sucking oranges.”

In the winter, when light is low and snow continues to make a presence, oranges make me think of sun and warmth and light. So I keep painting them. And people keep wanting them. The painting at the top of this post, Single, is the newest offering.

I don't think I've mentioned how much I like these bright and happy oranges. Your paintings are inspiring.
nice brightly coloured paintings :D perfect to look at after the grey day we are having here :/
Thanks Jo. I think the bright colours make everyone smile. I know they do for me.
Jen, the weather...we had a huge snowstorm/blizzard here today. So much snow. I despair of ever seeing the earth again.
Bright and cheery is the order of the day!
We actually got really lucky with snow this year, hardly got any. Haven't really gotten more than an inch or 2 the past 2 years, but the year before that we got a lot for here, over a foot. Nothing compared to there, but people panic here when there is 2 inches of snow :p
These are all lovely.
