Jug and Mandarin in oils

I visited the Salvo's store last week for a few still life props.  I felt a bit bad as they had a special on - you could fill a bag for $5. I ended up buying about 11 different items and this jug is one of the items. It was fun to paint.

It is a pretty miserable day here today.  Started off sunny but it has now turned cold and rainy. 

Jug and Mandarin measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord.

Manadrin in oils

Mandarin's are back in season so I thought it would be a good subject to paint.  I was not sure if I should paint it peeled or whole but in the end I decided to leave it whole.  Might do another painting with one peeled.

Mandarin measures 5 x 5 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord.
