Arden Ward Upton's original acrylic painting 16x20 on stretched canvas with a gold frame, using expressive brushstrokes and beautiful gestures. Bright orange colors to remind us of summer all year long. THE STORY BEHIND THE ART This series is a joyful ode to sun-soaked memories and citrus dreams. Inspired by childhood afternoons spent in South Florida with my grandmother—peeling ripe, local, fragrant oranges by the pool—Orangerie blends nostalgia with elegance. While painting these works, I was also transported to the manicured beauty of the gardens at Versailles, where I first learned what an orangerie truly is: a space designed to shelter delicate citrus trees, filled with light, beauty, and intention. With a chilled "Orange Thing" (it's a Birmingham thing) in hand and sunshine in my heart, I painted these pieces to celebrate the sweet simplicity of seasonal fruit, lush gardens, and the warm, golden moments that linger in memory. ARTWORK DETAILS Offered framed in a gold frame with a linen liner. This is a part of a series that is meant to mix and match and can also coordinate with the lemon series.
