Memories and Reflections by Pamela Blaies

Fresh Oranges

11" x 14"

oil on canvas

I spent the weekend at a high school reunion. It was fun catching up with some old friends and I was able to spend some time with my mom, too. I knew I wouldn't have much time for painting before I left for the weekend, so I put together a composition for a smaller painting. This one lent itself to some fun scumbling texture. I noticed the way the orange-half reflected onto the blade of the knife and this little detail is what made me decide to leave the knife in the composition.
