Kary's Orange 8"x10"

This orange is from my daughters tree. They are wonderfully sweet and juicy. With all of the turmoil happening right now painting a still life is a soothing meditative process. To focus on this beautiful creation of nature, the color, the form, the weight, the taste and texture. What a miracle it is that this orange filled with nourishment for us came from a dried seed that appeared to be be dead, to a tree, a flower and then fruit that we eat full of vitamins. It could be that this time of turmoil and change will turn out to be just as nourishing for us as well. If all we could have seen of the orange was the seed that appeared to be shriveled and dead how could we have known what the future held. We do not know how the seed produced the orange only that it did.
