Satsuma Mandarins Three Ways

Pastels 6 x 6

A favorite of the season: Satsuma mandarins. These sweet and delicious winter fruit are available in most markets for a few more weeks. I love their shapes and entertained myself painting them in 3 different ways, using a variety of surfaces and techniques.
