Little oranges full of sunshine to care on a winter day's - Best regards from Mooera Island

2 " of snow?
if you hold your hands out, facing the oranges, i'm sure the colors will warm them!

NSW burns and you have 2" of snow and blood oranges. How wonderful! What a way to start the day.

These oranges look so monumental, huge and sculptural. Almost as though they were made of copper, brass and gold.
We beat your 2" of snow with 5" of heavy, wet snow followed by freezzing rain. All the colors outside my studio window today are grey, silver, black, violet and ochre. Yesterday, it was 50 degrees and all grass with pure green! cheers, georgia

Two inches of snow in Provence! Is this an annual event? (Several years ago we had snow in May in Monflanquin!)
Your paintings bring warmth to the inside while the snow brings beauty to the outside.
Thank you for the warmth AND beauty your paintings reveal to us wherever we are.

Italian blood oranges; another highlight of the winter season (we woke to two inches of snow this morning)
