Mom painted a lot of still-lifes throughout her life as an artist. None I find as wonderful as these oranges. It might be the simplicity of the subject or the graphic geometry of the oranges. The choice of the orange against that wonderful teal / blue -green background that they just float on, their shadows oddly off just slightly. Or maybe it is because my family has had such a history with fruit - Grandpa Jim selling fruits and vegetables off of a green bus and door to door. Incidentally he lived in West Orange one of the Oranges of New Jersey. I don't know, I just love these Oranges.
