Bowl of Lemons

October 7, 2009 - 8"x10" acrylic on canvas board



I've wanted to do a still life of lemons almost since my first painting. Here it is, and I hope it's not the last.

There were only 5 colors on my pallet: Hana Yellow, Raw Umber, Titanium White, Pthalo Blue and the tiniest dab of napthal red.

The picture came off the internet because I hadn't been able to get a photo I liked. The compositin was great and I thought the bowl itself would be a fun challenge. I only spent about 4 hours on the basic painting and maybe another hour or two making adjustments.
