Lemon Squashed

8x8 inches oil on panel - SOLD

I thought it was about time to have a lemon that was not perfect and was messed up a bit.
The idea of reflections was something I had wanted to paint for a long time but was plucking up the courage to face the new challenge - I wish I could say it was easy but ....................... it wasn't!!!
There is another 'reflections' painting coming soon and then I think that's it for now (I like an easy life: I stepped out of my comfort zone and now I'm running straight back into it ;-).

    Great painting. I know what you are saying about “reflection paintings” – they aren’t easy but when done well they wow – WOW!! You did well out of your comfort zone.

    I think your squashed lemon is wonderful - it adds a hint of drama, makes me want to know what happens next.

    Beautifully done, Paul. For someone that just "pushes the paint around" you sure end up with some phenomenal results! I'll be back for more...
