Mango Tango


SOLD
Every day seems to be a fresh start in the studio as I approach this process. These mango's fell off the pallette and onto the canvas in a burst of energy this afternoon. Mango's really appeal to me because they look like large pods and have big seeds inside. I really enjoyed eating this mango before I painted it. I made a meal of it.

    Beautiful! Love the colors in the shadow and the shiny highlights on the fruit's surface. Looks delicious.
