Satsumas

7 x 10 inches, watercolor, 2009.

I love satsumas and gobble loads of them at this time of year. I especially like them when they are a touch green and still a bit sour.

Poinsettia

7 x 7.5 inches, watercolor, 2009.

A painting of a poinsettia, the plant that finds a place in so many homes over Christmas. There is a mistaken belief that they are poisonous.
