Do you like the title? I feel quite pleased with it.
Last month this painting sold:
The happy customer asked if I had a matching lemon painting, to which I replied, “No, but I can paint one for you”. Then I couldn’t find the photos, so I went to the 26,000 photos on my computer and found just what I needed.
I wasn’t focused on tight detail that day, because I was doing big picture thinking about large quantities of small Mineral King paintings. But, the citrus needs to be squeezed in. Squoze in. Something.
And since I am working on citrus and have run out of orange paintings, it was a good time to begin two more orange oil paintings.
There you have it. Three new citrus oil paintings, squoze right in among all the Mineral King oil paintings. I kept them on another wall for drying. Didn’t want any orange juice to drip on Mineral King.
P.S. Two days later, they were all finished and drying.

That lemon is beautiful!
Thank you, Nikki! It was quite a thrill to be able to paint with yellow for a change.
Oooh, I like the bright white light on the finished lemon painting, and the shiny green leaf.
Greetings to you!

Thank you, Jennifer! I love lemons – the smell, the flavor and the appearance. Aren’t they a weird fruit?
Jana, I enjoy the humor early in the day! Also, thanks for telling us tid bits of how you do things, like store all your photos, I learned something. I have a physical file that takes up way too much room.
Thank you, Janet. Sometimes I crack myself up. 😎 And, just so you don’t feel alone, I also have files and files and files of real photos in addition to the 26,000 on my laptop.
