The process

Oranges were my favourite fruit for a while so I painted them with gouache in my sketchbook.

I adapted it digitally and some looked like apples. That’s where the orange vs apple debate came to mind.

This poem just proves how an orange can brighten your day - ever wonder why the colour orange is called “orange’‘? And why the colour orange is associated with energy and happiness

Oranges are one thing, but mangoes are in a completely different league. Though there’s some disagreement between oranges and apples, I firmly believe that mangos are a fruit of common interest. I have yet to meet an individual that does not enjoy mangoes or is allergic to them.
