Clementines

I watercolored this copy of happify's photo, but-- argh! --my oranges (or, in this case, clementines) always look like a cross between tomatoes and bagels. [Proof.]

I painted it for my father's neighbor as a thank-you for spending yesterday afternoon at the hospital with my father after he almost fainted.

Turns out my father (a Capricorn) is just a fainting goat--no actual medical problems. 

Whew.

[NOTE, April 2017: 
Actually, it was dehydration and signaled the start of his general decline...] 

My father's  neighbor is a professor of art history, so I'm a little chagrined, but I'm sending this to her anyway. 
It's pretty and shows sincere effort at least, don't you think?
