Lemon tree, oils 2

More lemons, an exploration of growth after the rain. This painting is part of my “When life gives you lemons” series and a follow up to “Lemon tree oils 1” with a different colour palette and different light.

It feels as if there has been more rain in the last two weeks than for months. As a result everything is very green and my little lemon tree has shoots where I am sure it never dreamed it was possible. These two paintings are me trying to release myself from just reproducing something. They are about light and movement; they are about possibility. This is about seeing what’s in front of me.
