Mandarine Still life by ~Amandier is a beautiful oil on canvas still life painting, that gives the memories of eating fresh fruits in those wild hot crazy days of the summer. The dark background applies more highlights to the color of the fruit, and the jar that is near for composition. (Featured by `leodadominico)

so gorgeous. i really love seeing more traditional art on d.a.

the composition is great, i love it how the mandarins form a pyramid, their colour contrasts really nicely with teh jug + background. + i love the segmented mandarin up front, too.
