On the edge ...

SOLD
12 x 9 inches on Belgian linen panel

When I was setting this up I thought that maybe there was too much of the wooden box showing and that the lemon was not prominent enough, but I wanted to give the feeling of the lemon hanging over a big drop and teetering on the edge (a bit like me ;-). I toyed with a horizontal composition too but it didn't give me that 'edgy' feeling ... this one works for me.
