Portuguese Harvest - Sunlit Tangerines (2026) Original Watercolour by Irina Kurganskaya

“Portuguese Harvest on Azulejo Time – Sunlit Tangerines” is an original watercolor painting inspired by the vibrant colors of Mediterranean harvests and the timeless beauty of traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles.

Bright orange tangerines rest upon a weathered blue azulejo tabletop, creating a striking contrast between warm citrus tones and softly faded ceramic patterns. The vertical composition highlights the natural rhythm of the fruit while celebrating the textures, colors, and quiet charm of everyday Portuguese life.

Painted in realistic watercolor techniques, the artwork captures the freshness of seasonal harvests and the atmosphere of sunlit afternoons. The aged tile surface adds a sense of history and place, while the glowing tangerines bring warmth, energy, and optimism to the composition.

This painting is part of the ongoing “Portuguese Harvest on Azulejo Time” series, which explores seasonal produce through the lens of Portuguese culture, traditional craftsmanship, and Mediterranean light.
