"Satsuma Joy"

Introducing "Satsuma Joy" - a vibrant mixed media series celebrating the simple pleasure of winter citrus and childhood memories. Each piece features a bold cobalt blue pedestal bowl brimming with sun-bright satsumas, set against a luminous golden background created from vintage French papers, musical scores, and arithmetic sheets. The interplay of acrylic paint and oil sticks brings dynamic energy to these nostalgic compositions, while carefully preserved fragments of text and notation add layers of history and meaning. The scattered satsumas at the base of each piece create a playful foundation, their fresh green leaves dancing against the warm yellow field. One of a kind, these works capture both the visual delight and emotional warmth of treasured moments. Each piece is unique, though united by their celebration of color, memory, and joy.

"Satsuma Sonata"

A celebration of citrus and memory, this mixed media piece dances with the past. French text and musical notations peek through a golden wash, while a striking cobalt pedestal bowl cradles a bounty of sun-ripened satsumas. The fruit, rendered in vivid orange with gestural green leaves, spills energetically from its vessel, with three playful satsumas resting along the azure base. The vintage papers and vibrant acrylics create a sophisticated interplay of texture and time.

"Numerical Nostalgia"

In this variation, vintage arithmetic papers create a subtle spiral pattern beneath the luminous yellow ground, suggesting the cyclical nature of seasons and memories. The bold blue compote rises confidently from a cerulean reflection, holding aloft a generous cluster of satsumas. Each fruit is individually characterized with expressive brushwork, their green leaves providing organic movement against the structured background. Three grounding satsumas echo the arrangement above.

"Winter's Gold"

Here, layers of aged papers create a rich palimpsest beneath the glowing yellow field. The composition achieves perfect balance between the geometric stability of the blue pedestal bowl and the organic abundance of the satsumas. The fruit captures both the visual and emotional warmth of childhood memories, while snippets of French text and musical notation add intellectual depth. The three satsumas below anchor the composition with quiet authority.

Each piece is created with vintage papers, acrylic paint, and oil sticks on canvas, signed by Ginger.
