This is a painting I created for a client who wanted this as a gift for his wife.  It was a surprise for her and I so enjoyed painting it.  I love still life and painting fruit, flowers and such, but the beautiful yellow color of the lemons along with the depiction of the fresh lemon slices was really exhilarating and I wanted to go all out and create the most idealized lemons ever.  Witnessing the gift being presented was a real treat and makes this work so meaningful. 

Let me know if you would like a commission and I’d be happy to discuss with you.  Hope you enjoy getting a glimpse of “Lemon Splendor”.
