Oil on Canvas Board 16x16in
The fifth piece in the series, presents a white milk jug amid a cluster of bright orange tangerines, a visual exploration of the complexities of speech and understanding in early childhood. As twins begin to comprehend and articulate the world around them, the seemingly straightforward task of distinguishing colours and objects becomes a delightful puzzle. The painting illustrates the challenge of explaining that an orange can be both a colour and a fruit, and that what looks like an orange might be a tangerine. This piece delves into the nuances of language development with a mother’s gentle guidance, set against the plain canvas that has come to symbolize the clarity and focus of the collection.
