Finding Blood Oranges in our neck of the woods is a rare event. C found some last year and we spent several weeks making jam and marmalade.
This year, even scarcer, C found some blood oranges while shopping near his work -- and so brought home a couple of bags. I spent a good six hours rendering these treasures into more marmalade -- so reminding us of our trip to Sicily! DELICIOUS!
Your drawing is lovely, Lin. The oranges look delicious....love all citrus fruits...as well as marmalade!

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm just envious! I've been looking for blood oranges for weeks (they SHOULD be here, but... well, now you've at least given me hope that they might appear in our area!) Have you ever had them with red onions and good pecans on a nice mixed green salad? Heavenly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting! Now, how about showing us some jars of marmalade? :-)
Sounds fabulous...love your drawing...

ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Lin! I love the color of the oranges, and the blue background is just right. You should frame this and hang it in your kitchen!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and such a nice arrangement. You did such good work on this drawing/painting.
ReplyDeleteI love your blood oranges, Lin. This painting too, has a lovely easy style to it! I bought some today for our house guests - if there is one left over after tomorrow morning's squeezing, I'll have to paint it!

ReplyDeleteI'm with Linda - they are GREAT on a green salad with pecans and white balsamic dressing - YUM!!

ReplyDeleteThese colors are so intense, Lin. Love the contrast of the blue and the orange. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd just add my voice (well, squeak) to those who have already admired your blood oranges. They really are very good!
