A Slice of Sunshine



"A Slice of Sunshine"

4 x 4

Stretched Canvas

Look for me on Etsy soon!

This little painting is dedicated to my boys, Andrew and Spencer, who think mandarin oranges are "cute".  I guess I am just relieved it isn't girls yet -- I am terrible at painting people!!  

This was fun to paint because the light was shining right through the orange slice and just lit it up like a lantern- just the way the boys' smiles light up their faces when they are happy!  There is nothing finer than a big smile on a child's face ...except perhaps a big smile with an orange peel peering out the way kids like to do...that works, too!!
