I like some things about this; other things need big improvements! The plate was a gift from my mom 25 years ago.

Very nice! :tu I suddenly feel the need to go dig up the kids' book Why is an Orange Called and Orange (http://www.amazon.ca/Why-Orange-Called-Cobi-Ladner/dp/1552785491/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340084906&sr=8-1)? It was Erin's favourite for the longest time.

Thank you all! I reworked the right front orange a bit today, and tomorrow I may try and rework the back orange (or start something new.) You would think oranges would be easy to paint. They have some basic challenges that I need to work on. This is going to be a summer of spheres and shadows.
