When I was a younger artist, I used to think that painting fruit and vegetables was BORING. Now, I understand that this subject matter isn't so much about ideas and feelings as it is about COLOR. Lemon is a study in simplicity as far as the number of brush strokes it took to get here and letting the color take over and do the talking...so to speak. I am a wee bit obsessed with simplicity in regards to all of life, and painting is no different. Why use more when less is beautiful and sufficient?

Very fun! Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
