Oranges, oil on canvas, 2008.

I painted this small still life in oil spontaneously the other evening. It is direct and frontal, without preconceptions. I did it for the pure thrill of painting, to forget all else and live within the colors. For an hour and a half, I was truly joyous.

I apologize, dear for the poor photo image quality. Rest assured it is much more vibrant in person, as paintings usually are.
