Orange Peel

This artwork depicts my mother peeling an orange at the table.  She was not actually by the table when she was peeling the orange, I just wanted to create a background for her hands,which was what I was actually practicing to draw. Drawing hands can be tricky sometimes because you have to get the right proportion and placement of the fingers.I enjoyed drawing this piece.I like the direction of the lines of  the runner on the table because of the sense of perspective and contrast they create to the drawing .
