I ummed and ahhed over whether to paint this subject. The mandarin had been lying around for a few days in the studio. I'd intended painting it but for one reason or another never got around to it. Eventually, it got this realy interesting growth of mould spores on it, I knew it would be difficult to paint convincingly, and it was! Oh well. You've got to try these things... I can see little point in always sticking to safe and easy things to paint.
