L'arancia, 8x10", acrylic on board, 2021, me. Because 'orange' sounds better in Italian.
One of the first works I made when I started painting again in 2020 was an orange. The above was a comparison piece to see how much progress I made in a year. Below is the 2020 painting. There's a class on Skillshare by LaurieAnne Gonzalez that teaches you how to paint an orange - highly recommend.
