3:00 a.m.? - now, THAT takes commitment! I feel there must be a subliminal meaning to this lone lemon leaning against the wall, but I can't figure it out. (My mother used to tell me that I think too much.)
Simply perfect and perfectly simple!
I have to agree with Rita .... that lonely lemon does, indeed, look "frightened" ... the way it's backing up against the wall, shrinking away from something, certainly makes the viewer feel that way.
Well done.
Dear Julian,agree with the others,there seems to be some angst here,especially as this was painted at a time of night when most people have their deepest, sweetest sleep.The poor lemon seems so very alone,almost cowering in the mercilessly stark light,no silver for a mirror,not even a pretty leaf.I know how that lemon feels,I am in the second cycle of a prescribed 6 months of chemotherapy of the "mopping up" kind.Supposed to be fully recovered,but the adjuvant treatment is killing me! Sorry,ranting again and should of course be very thankful etc. etc.
The new "props" are lovely. Wonderful distractions in silver and pewter the last couple of days. Sir W. Nicholson would have been proud.
