For the last 20 years I completely ignored the orange tree in the backyard of my studio because my backyard was the front yard of the guy who rented the back house. But now Iโm that guy, so the orange tree is all mine.ย Itโs almost completely replaced the internet for me. Youโve got the bright orange dots, like out of a painting of California, and the drama of the squirrels running away with the oranges. Then thereโs the hummingbirds, who I have trouble playing it cool around, I just stare and stare. And now: orange blossoms! That smell like sexy beautiful perfume! I keep cutting off sprigs and sending them off with guests.
