Orange Slices on a Napkin

Still life, still stunning.

Three orange slices tumble across a rumpled linen napkin, catching the light in ways that feel almost edible. What makes this painting unusual is its palette — rather than the expected burst of citrus brightness, I leaned into warm ochres, dusty roses, and soft shadows. The result is a still life that feels timeless rather than trendy, and at home in almost any space.

The interplay of light and shadow across the folded fabric was the real challenge here — and the real joy. This is the kind of painting that rewards a second look.
