Mandarin orange

I just loved the images yesterday and today! Thank you!

YES!

superb!

It's the time of the year for Mandarins - just when we need them like this little golden sun.

Suddenly I decided to look at this painting, rotating it to the left and so the fruit offered me a wonderful landscape with an incandescent sun crackling through a "mandarin orange" sky, a delightful blue lake, surrounded by mountains, cliffs, plains lost in a vaporous dawn... This painting is like a rebus. And reminding of Turner and Claude Lorain, at present in Paris .

I especially admire the off-centered image! "Le ciel est bleu comme une orange"....

I KNOW Eluard said "La terre est bleue comme une orange," but I liked the image of "le ciel est bleu comme une orange," since a sinking or a rising sun can look like your painting of the mandarin orange, Julia.

I also meant "Julian" and not "Julia." Decidemment....
