Now with Orange Aid, this summer I was selected as one of the hundred participating artists to paint a fiber glass orange with each artist's artistic license. Art Alliance OrangeAid Benefit is a celebration of "Art Oranges" inspired by the Giant Orange Artventure.
I picked up my blank white fiber glass orange in June and it sat in my studio for months with no action. I generally gave it stares every time I passed by. One week became months with no action and before you know it now two and half weeks before due day and it is time to bunker down and get it done.Here is the journey of a white fiber glass orange evolving with my artistic take on it!

The oranges were exhibited at the museum and on November 9th at the sponsor gala reception, they were matched with the sponsors in a blind drawing. I am happy than my orange was matched with Security Bank of CA...yeah!!!
