Inspired by my own backyard and living in the hills. We grow lots of our own fruit and vegetables and spring time gets me excited with all the blossom blooming in our yard. Also inspired by our surrounding pear, apple orchards and don't forget the wineries. This painting says "spring time fresh"! Also reminds me of limoncello another refreshing drink that I love in Spring - Summer. I did a fruit series many years ago in a more rustic style with browns and golds. This is my first lemons I have painted. Super textural too. Finished in a satin varnish.
