This vibrant still life was created as part of the Pastel Society of the West Coast’s 10-day challenge, where artists pushed their creativity to produce 10 high-key pastel paintings in just 10 days. In this piece, three sunlit oranges rest in a simple white bowl, their rich golden hues glowing against the natural light. The warmth of the sunlight enhances their color, bringing out the depth and texture of each fruit. A study in light and vibrancy, this painting is a celebration of color, energy, and the fleeting beauty of an everyday moment.
