Oranges-Artist Challenge

Playtime in photoshop! I'm trying to create a painterly mood without resorting to a prepackage painting "effect." The oranges are 'Clementines' from the store. This is for the Artist Challenge ( http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/26945/new-artist-challenge-francois-krige), based loosely on this painting: http://www.straussart.co.za/auctions/lot/3/133
