Tangerine - Original Oil Painting - Citrus Still Life - 6x6 inches

A zestful burst of sunshine and vitamin C.

"Tangerine" is a juicy original oil painting that captures the messy, delicious process of peeling a favorite snack. The artwork features a bright orange tangerine, partially peeled to reveal the tender, segmented fruit inside, with the white pith beautifully textured against the smooth flesh. Loose segments and a few scattered seeds rest in the foreground, creating a candid, natural composition set against a refreshing pastel blue and mint background.

Painted on a hand-primed cradled wood canvas, the piece is vibrant and tactile. Alai’s signature impasto brushwork brings the scene to life—from the dimpled texture of the orange peel to the wet, glossy highlights on the fruit segments. It’s a small but powerful splash of color that brings freshness and energy to a kitchen, dining room, or breakfast nook.

Why this original brings life to your wall:

— Energetic Color Contrast: The intense, warm orange of the fruit vibrates beautifully against the cool, airy blues and mints of the background, creating an uplifting visual effect.

— Sensory Texture: The thick paint application mimics the waxy skin of the peel and the juicy interior of the fruit, appealing to the senses beyond just sight.

— Cradled Wood Panel: The painting continues on a rigid wood structure (approx. 15x15 cm), giving it depth and a premium, finished look that needs no framing.
