Original artwork description
There is a specific kind of joy found in the vibrant contrast of a Mediterranean garden—the scent of citrus in the air and the blinding brightness of the sun. This piece is an exploration of that energy. I wanted to capture not just the image of lemons, but the feeling of summer: the warmth of the fruit against the cool, dappled shadows of the leaves. The white blossoms represent a moment of transition, where the delicate fragrance of the bloom meets the heavy, ripe weight of the harvest.
Technique & Texture
This original oil painting is a study in Impasto and Palette Knife work. By applying thick, sculptural layers of professional-grade oil paint, I’ve created a tactile surface that invites the viewer to experience the work in three dimensions.
The Lemons: Built with bold, energetic strokes of cadmium yellow and warm oranges to give them a rounded, "plump" presence.
The Background: A sophisticated play of lavender, muted violet, and cool grays, applied with a palette knife to create a "broken" texture that allows the bright citrus to truly "pop" off the canvas.
The Details: Small, precise marks with the tip of the knife define the delicate blossoms, contrasting with the broad, sweeping movements used for the lush greenery.
