This still life features a bright pair of lemons alongside a reflective metal pitcher, capturing the play of light and shadow in a harmonious composition. Painted during a still life class with Pat Tucker, this piece explores contrasts—vivid yellow lemons against the cool, polished surface of the pitcher, and the soft lavender-gray backdrop tying it all together.
I varnished the piece to provide protection and ensure even sheen.
The subtle reflections of the lemons in the pitcher add an intriguing layer of detail, drawing the viewer closer to appreciate the interplay of realism and artistry. It’s a cheerful and contemplative nod to the beauty in ordinary moments.
