Lemon

Painting a single object like a lemon is not as easy as it looks. Getting the highlight when the sun hits, and the curve, and the shadow side take practice. Luckily, with acrylics, you can make mistakes and change things. I like the background, which looks like copper, but is actually the product of several different colors on top of each other. The whole little painting, actually, is on top of another painting that didn’t work.
