Oranges in a Bag - Original Oil Painting - Citrus Fruit Art - 10 inches

Fresh from the market, captured in oil.

"Oranges in a Bag" is a vibrant original oil painting that masters the challenge of transparency. Based on a reference by Bryan Mark Taylor, the artwork features a mesh-style clear plastic tote bag filled with bright, juicy oranges (or mandarins). The fiery orange tones of the fruit vibrate intensely against the cool, saturated teal background, while white and blue highlights expertly create the illusion of the crinkled, reflective plastic material.

Painted on a substantial 25x25 cm (10x10 inch) handmade wood panel, this piece is a stunning example of contemporary still life. Alai’s signature impasto brushwork builds the round forms of the fruit and the structure of the bag, giving the painting a tactile, energetic quality. It’s a cheerful, summery piece that brings a pop of color and freshness to any space.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Masterful Transparency: The way the plastic bag is rendered—visible yet transparent, distorting the fruit slightly—is a visual delight.
• Complementary Pop: The classic orange and teal color pairing creates maximum visual contrast, making the fruit look incredibly ripe and bright.
• Modern Market Vibe: The subject matter feels casual and modern, like a snapshot of a perfect grocery haul.
