Orange blossoms delight

This is my first try at a larger than journal painting in a very long time. I got the idea from Karlyn Holman's book. It's 11x15 and was lots of fun to do with the loose background. It's nearly impossible to create the luscious orange of this fruit-but it was delicious fun to try.
It feels great to be back to painting again - just for the joy it gives me. No focus on showing or selling or competition of any kind.
Learning to do a blog is a big challenge for me too. I used to believe that computers were a 'passing fad'! How wrong I was and now have SO much to learn!
