Have you seen White Lotus, season 2?

It takes place in Italy and there are orange trees everywhere. That is if you can see them past the people having sex all over the place, but I digress… The show is both brilliant and beautiful - a must see.

This piece was inspired by the orange trees and it was so much fun to paint. Originally I had left about 1/3 of the canvas as negative space, but after ‘finishing it’ the painting promptly told me to get back to work, you lazy bitch. Finish it properly! So I did, and as usual listening to that inner creative voice was the right move and the end result is far better than before.
