Blood Oranges

Not my usual (or preferred) subject matter but we had these two blood oranges crying to be sketched. They were a bit on the small side but I do like them and ate one as I was drawing it.

The painted version is badly overworked but I enjoyed the splashy bits. 

I was taken aback at the gouge running across the bottom of the paper! It only showed up when I added paint. How did that get there!
